Psalms:80
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Give ear ,
O Shepherd of Israel ,
You who lead Joseph like a flock ;
You who dwell between the cherubim ,
shine forth !
*
Stir up Your strength before Ephraim ,
Benjamin ,
and Manasseh and come and save us !
*
Bring us back ,
O God ,
and cause Your face to shine ,
and we shall be saved !
*
O Jehovah the God of Hosts ,
how long will You be angry against the prayer of Your people ?
*
You have fed them with the bread of tears ,
and given them tears to drink a third time .
*
You make us an object of contention to our neighbors ,
and our enemies laugh among themselves .
*
Bring us back ,
O God of Hosts ;
cause Your face to shine ,
and we shall be saved !
*
You have brought a vine out of Egypt ;
You have cast out the nations and planted it .
*
You have cleared away for it ,
and caused the roots to take root ,
and it filled the land .
*
The hills were covered with its shade ,
and its boughs were like mighty cedars .
*
It sent out its boughs to the Sea ,
and its branches to the River .
*
Why have You broken down its hedges ,
so that all who pass by the way pluck its fruit ?
*
The boar out of the woods tears it up ,
and the wild beast of the field devours it .
*
Return ,
we beseech You ,
O God of Hosts ;
look down from Heaven and look upon and visit this vine ,
*
and the vineyard which Your right hand has planted ,
and the son that You made strong for Yourself .
*
It is burned with fire ,
it is cut down ;
they perish at the rebuke of Your face .
*
Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand ,
upon the son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself .
*
Then we will not turn back from You ;
revive us ,
and we will call upon Your name .
*
Turn us back ,
O Jehovah the God of Hosts ;
cause Your face to shine ,
and we shall be saved !
