| # Chapter 80
| To the Overseer. -- 'On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph. -- A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs -- shine forth,
| Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.
| O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
| Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.
| Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.
| Thou makest us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies mock at it.
| God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
| A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.
| Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,
| Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs [are] cedars of God.
| It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.
| Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?
| A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.
| God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,
| And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,
| Burnt with fire -- cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.
| Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.
| And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.
| O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!
