Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. |
80-2: |
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. |
80-3: |
Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
80-4: |
O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? |
80-5: |
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. |
80-6: |
Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. |
80-7: |
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
80-8: |
Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. |
80-9: |
Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. |
80-10: |
The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. |
80-11: |
She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. |

80-15: |
And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. |
80-16: |
It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. |
80-17: |
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. |
80-18: |
So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. |
80-19: |
Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
