Psalms - Chapter 80 - New International Version
- Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth
- before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might; come and save us.
- Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
- How long, LORD God Almighty, will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people?
- You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.
- You have made us an object of derision "to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.
- Restore us, God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
- You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.
- You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
- The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.
- Its branches reached as far as the Sea, "its shoots as far as the River. [^
- ]
- Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
- Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it.
- Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,
- the root your right hand has planted, the son "you have raised up for yourself.
- Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.
- Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself.
- Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
- Restore us, LORD God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
