Psalm 80
God Implored To Rescue His People From Their Calamities.
For the choir director; set to El Shoshannim; Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.
You who lead Joseph like a flock;
You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!
And come to save us!
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
How long will You be angry with the prayer of Your people?
And You have made them to drink tears in large measure.
And our enemies laugh among themselves.
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
You drove out the nations and planted it.
And it took deep root and filled the land.
And the cedars of God with its boughs.
And its shoots to the River.
So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.
Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
And on the son whom You have strengthened for Yourself.
They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.
Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
