80:1 For the music director; according to the shushan-eduth style; ²  a psalm of Asaph.

O shepherd of Israel, pay attention,

you who lead Joseph like a flock of sheep!

You who sit enthroned above the winged angels, ³  reveal your splendor! ⁴ 

80:2 In the sight of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh reveal ⁵  your power!

Come and deliver us! ⁶ 

80:3 O God, restore us!

Smile on us! ⁷  Then we will be delivered! ⁸ 

80:4 O Lord God, invincible warrior! ⁹ 

How long will you remain angry at your people while they pray to you? ¹⁰ 

80:5 You have given them tears as food; ¹¹ 

you have made them drink tears by the measure. ¹² 

80:6 You have made our neighbors dislike us, ¹³ 

and our enemies insult us.

80:7 O God, invincible warrior, ¹⁴  restore us!

Smile on us! ¹⁵  Then we will be delivered! ¹⁶ 

80:8 You uprooted a vine ¹⁷  from Egypt;

you drove out nations and transplanted it.

80:9 You cleared the ground for it; ¹⁸ 

it took root, ¹⁹ 

and filled the land.

80:10 The mountains were covered by its shadow,

the highest cedars ²⁰  by its branches.

80:11 Its branches reached the Mediterranean Sea, ²¹ 

and its shoots the Euphrates River. ²² 

80:12 Why did you break down its walls, ²³ 

so that all who pass by pluck its fruit? ²⁴ 

80:13 The wild boars of the forest ruin it; ²⁵ 

the insects ²⁶  of the field feed on it.

80:14 O God, invincible warrior, ²⁷  come back!

Look down from heaven and take notice!

Take care of this vine,

80:15 the root ²⁸  your right hand planted,

the shoot you made to grow! ²⁹ 

80:16 It is burned ³⁰  and cut down.

They die because you are displeased with them. ³¹ 

80:17 May you give support to the one you have chosen, ³² 

to the one whom you raised up for yourself! ³³ 

80:18 Then we will not turn away from you.

Revive us and we will pray to you! ³⁴ 

80:19 O Lord God, invincible warrior, ³⁵  restore us!

Smile on us! ³⁶  Then we will be delivered! ³⁷
