nsb@Psalms:80:2 @ Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your power and come to save us!

nsb@Psalms:80:3 @ O God, restore us and cause your face to shine that we will be saved.

nsb@Psalms:80:4 @ O Jehovah God, commander of armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

nsb@Psalms:80:5 @ You made them eat tears as food. You often made them drink their own tears.

nsb@Psalms:80:6 @ You made us a source of conflict to our neighbors. Our enemies make fun of us.

nsb@Psalms:80:7 @ O God, commander of armies, restore us and smile on us so that we may be saved.

nsb@Psalms:80:8 @ You brought a vine from Egypt. You forced out the nations and planted it.

nsb@Psalms:80:9 @ You cleared the ground for it so that it took root and filled the land.

nsb@Psalms:80:10 @ Its shade covered the mountains. Its branches covered the mighty cedars.

nsb@Psalms:80:11 @ It reached out with its branches to the Mediterranean Sea. Its shoots reached the Euphrates River.

nsb@Psalms:80:12 @ Why did you break down the stone fences around this vine? All who pass by are picking its fruit.

nsb@Psalms:80:19 @ O Jehovah God, commander of armies, restore us, and cause your face to shine on us so that we may be saved.
