Chapter 80 | |
1 | Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. |
2 | Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. |
3 | Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
4 | O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? |
5 | Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. |
6 | Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: 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 hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. |
9 | Thou
preparedst room before it, and didst 1cause it to take deep root, and it filled
the land.
|
10 | The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. |
11 | She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. |
12 | Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? |
13 | The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. |
14 | Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; |
15 | And the vineyard which thy right hand hath 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 will not we go back from thee: aquicken us, and we will call upon thy name. |
19 | Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
