| # Chapter 80
#### 1 | For the Chief Musician, set to Shoshanim Eduth.. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that sittest [above] the cherubim, shine forth.
#### 2 | Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, And come to save us.
#### 3 | Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
#### 4 | O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
#### 5 | Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.
#### 6 | Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves.
#### 7 | Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
#### 8 | Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.
#### 9 | Thou preparedst [room] before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.
#### 10 | The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were [like] cedars of God.
#### 11 | It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.
#### 12 | Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?
#### 13 | The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
#### 14 | Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,
#### 15 | And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
#### 16 | It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
#### 17 | Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
#### 18 | So shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.
#### 19 | Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
