80:1  To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Testimony. Of Asaph, a Psalm. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock! You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.
80:2  Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might and come to save us!
80:3  Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved!
80:4  O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?
80:5  You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in full measure.
80:6  You make us an object of contention for our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.
80:7  Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved!
80:8  You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.
80:9  You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land.
80:10  The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.
80:11  It sent out its branches to the sea and its shoots to the River.
80:12  Why then have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
80:13  The boar from the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it.
80:14  Turn again, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven, and see; have regard for this vine,
80:15  the stock that your right hand planted, and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.
80:16  They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down; may they perish at the rebuke of your face!
80:17  But let your hand be on the man of your right hand, the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!
80:18  Then we shall not turn back from you; give us life, and we will call upon your name!
80:19  Restore us, O LORD God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved!
