80 Shepherd of Israel, listen!
    You, the one who leads Joseph as if he were a sheep.
    You, who are enthroned upon the winged heavenly creatures.
Show yourself ² before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh!
    Wake up your power!
    Come to save us!
³ Restore us, God!
    Make your face shine so that we can be saved!

48 Then Elijah the prophet
rose up like fire,
    and his word burned like a torch.
² He brought a famine upon them,
    and he reduced their number by his zeal.
³ By the Lord’s word he shut up the sky,
    and in the same way
    he brought down fire three times.
⁴ How glorious you were, Elijah,
in your amazing deeds!
    Who will boast like you can?
⁵     You raised a corpse from death,
        from the grave^[a] by a word
        of the Most High.
⁶     You brought kings down to destruction
        and dragged the famous
        from their beds.
⁷     You heard a rebuke at Sinai
        and decrees of punishment at Horeb.
⁸     You anointed kings to bring retribution
        and prophets to succeed you.
⁹     You were taken up in a whirlwind of fire
        and in a chariot of fiery horses.
¹⁰     It is recorded that you are ready
    for the designated times,
        to calm anger before it turns to wrath,
        to turn the heart of a father to his son,
        and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
¹¹ Happy are those who saw you
    and who have fallen asleep^[b]
    in your love,
    for we will surely live as well.
