¹ To the chief Musician. On Shoshannim-Eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest [between] the cherubim, shine forth.

² Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, and come to our deliverance.

³ O¹ God, restore us; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

1. 80.3 Elohim

⁴ Jehovah,¹God of hosts, how long will thine anger smoke against the prayer of thy people?

1. 80.4 Elohim

⁵ Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure:

⁶ Thou hast made us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies mock among themselves.

⁷ Restore us, O¹ God of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

1. 80.7 Elohim

⁸ Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt; thou didst cast out the nations, and plant it:

⁹ Thou preparedst space before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land;

¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shadow, and the branches thereof were [like] cedars of¹ God;

1. 80.10 El

¹¹ It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its shoots unto the river.

¹² Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it?

¹³ The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it.

¹⁴ O¹ God of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down from the heavens, and behold, and visit this vine;

1. 80.14 Elohim

¹⁵ Even the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the young plant thou madest strong for thyself.

¹⁶ It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

¹⁷ Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself.

¹⁸ So will we not go back from thee. Revive us, and we will call upon thy name.

¹⁹ Restore us, O Jehovah,¹God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
