80:1 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.
