80:1  [For the choir director; according to [shoshannim eduth]; by Asaph; a psalm.] Open your ears, O Shepherd of Israel, the one who leads [the descendants of] Joseph like sheep, the one who is enthroned over the angels.
80:2  Appear in front of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Wake up your power, and come to save us.
80:3  O God, restore us and smile on us so that we may be saved.
80:4  O LORD God, commander of armies, how long will you smolder in anger against the prayer of your people?
80:5  You made them eat tears as food. You often made them drink [their own] tears.
80:6  You made us a source of conflict to our neighbors, and our enemies made fun of us.
80:7  O God, commander of armies, restore us and smile on us so that we may be saved.
80:8  You brought a vine from Egypt. You forced out the nations and planted it.
80:9  You cleared the ground for it so that it took root and filled the land.
80:10  Its shade covered the mountains. Its branches covered the mighty cedars.
80:11  It reached out with its branches to the Mediterranean Sea. Its shoots reached the Euphrates River.
80:12  Why did you break down the stone fences around this vine? All who pass by are picking its fruit.
80:13  Wild boars from the forest graze on it. Wild animals devour it.
80:14  O God, commander of armies, come back! Look from heaven and see! Come to help this vine.
80:15  Take care of what your right hand planted, the son you strengthened for yourself.
80:16  The vine has been cut down and burned. Let them be destroyed by the threatening look on your face.
80:17  Let your power rest on the man you have chosen, the son of man you strengthened for yourself.
80:18  Then we will never turn away from you. Give us life again, and we will call on you.
80:19  O LORD God, commander of armies, restore us, and smile on us so that we may be saved.
