80 Give ear, O shepherd of Israel,
who leads Joseph like a flock.
Shine forth, you who sits enthroned above the cherubim.
² Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
stir up your power
and come for our salvation.
³ O God, restore us,
and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.
⁴ O Yahweh God of hosts,
how long will you be angry^[b]
against the prayer of your people?
⁵ You have fed them the bread of tears;
you have given them tears to drink in full measure.^[c]
6 You have made us an object of strife to our neighbors,
and our enemies mock among themselves.
⁷ O God of hosts, restore us
and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.
⁸ You uprooted a vine from Egypt;
you drove out the nations and planted it.
⁹ You prepared a place before it,
and it took deep root^[d] and filled the land.
¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shade,
and the mighty cedars with its boughs.
¹¹ It spread its branches to the sea
and its shoots to the river.
¹² Why have you broken down its walls,
so that all who pass on the road pluck fruit from it?
¹³ Swine from the forests devour^[e] it
and creatures of the field feed on it.
¹⁴ Please return, O God of hosts.
Observe from heaven and see,
and pay attention to this vine,
¹⁵ eventhe stalk that your right hand planted,
and concerning the shoot^[f] you strengthened for yourself.
¹⁶ It is burned with fire, cut down.
They perish at the rebuke of your face.
¹⁷ Let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
on the son of humankind whom you made strong for yourself.
¹⁸ Then we will not turn back from you.
Restore us to life, and we will proclaim your name.
¹⁹ O Yahweh God of hosts, restore us;
cause your face to shine that we may be saved.
