80:1 For the choir director: according to "The Lilies." A testimony of Asaph. A psalm. Listen, Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; You who sit enthroned on the cherubim, rise up
80:2 before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Your power and come to save us.
80:3 Restore us, God; look on us with favor, and we will be saved.
80:4 LORD God of Hosts, how long will You be angry with Your people's prayers?
80:5 You fed them the bread of tears and gave them a full measure of tears to drink.
80:6 You make us quarrel with our neighbors; our enemies make fun of us.
80:7 Restore us, God of Hosts; look on us with favor, and we will be saved.
80:8 You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it.
80:9 You cleared a place for it; it took root and filled the land.
80:10 The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.
80:11 It sent out sprouts toward the Sea and shoots toward the River.
80:12 Why have You broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its fruit?
80:13 The boar from the forest tears it and creatures of the field feed on it.
80:14 Return, God of Hosts. Look down from heaven and see; take care of this vine,
80:15 the root Your right hand has planted, the shoot that You made strong for Yourself.
80:16 It was cut down and burned up; they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
80:17 Let Your hand be with the man at Your right hand, with the son of man You have made strong for Yourself.
80:18 Then we will not turn away from You; revive us, and we will call on Your name.
80:19 Restore us, Yahweh, the God of Hosts; look on us with favor, and we will be saved.
