Psalms 80
1 For the music director. A psalm of Asaph. To the tune “Lilies of the Covenant.” Please hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead the descendants of Joseph like a flock. You who sit on your throne above the cherubim, shine out
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ אֶל־שֹׁשַׁנִּים עֵדוּת לְאָסָף מִזְמֽוֹר׃ רֹעֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל ׀ הַאֲזִינָה נֹהֵג כַּצֹּאן יוֹסֵף יֹשֵׁב הַכְּרוּבִים הוֹפִֽיעָה׃ |
2 in the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Gather together your power and come to save us!
| לִפְנֵי אֶפְרַיִם ׀ וּבִנְיָמִן וּמְנַשֶּׁה עוֹרְרָה אֶת־גְּבוּרָתֶךָ וּלְכָה לִישֻׁעָתָה לָּֽנוּ׃ |
3 God, please restore us! Let your face shine on us so we can be saved.
| אֱלֹהִים הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ וְהָאֵר פָּנֶיךָ וְנִוָּשֵֽׁעָה׃ |
4 Lord God Almighty, how long will you be angry with the prayers of your people?
| יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת עַד־מָתַי עָשַׁנְתָּ בִּתְפִלַּת עַמֶּֽךָ׃ |
5 You fed them with the bread of tears, and gave them a full bowl of tears to drink.
| הֶאֱכַלְתָּם לֶחֶם דִּמְעָה וַתַּשְׁקֵמוֹ בִּדְמָעוֹת שָׁלִֽישׁ׃ |
6 You turn us into victims our neighbors fight over; our enemies mock us.
| תְּשִׂימֵנוּ מָדוֹן לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ וְאֹיְבֵינוּ יִלְעֲגוּ־לָֽמוֹ׃ |
7 God Almighty, please restore us! Let your face shine on us so we can be saved!
| אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ וְהָאֵר פָּנֶיךָ וְנִוָּשֵֽׁעָה׃ |
8 You carried us out of Egypt like a vine. You drove out the heathen nations, and then you planted the vine.
| גֶּפֶן מִמִּצְרַיִם תַּסִּיעַ תְּגָרֵשׁ גּוֹיִם וַתִּטָּעֶֽהָ׃ |
9 You prepared the ground for the vine. It took root and filled the land.
| פִּנִּיתָ לְפָנֶיהָ וַתַּשְׁרֵשׁ שׇׁרָשֶׁיהָ וַתְּמַלֵּא־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
10 The mountains were covered by its shade; its branches covered the great cedars.
| כָּסּוּ הָרִים צִלָּהּ וַעֲנָפֶיהָ אַֽרְזֵי־אֵֽל׃ |
11 It sent its branches as far west as the Mediterranean Sea, and its shoots as far east as the Euphrates River.
| תְּשַׁלַּח קְצִירֶהָ עַד־יָם וְאֶל־נָהָר יוֹנְקוֹתֶֽיהָ׃ |
12 So why have you broken down the walls that protect it so that everyone who passes by can steal its fruit?
| לָמָּה פָּרַצְתָּ גְדֵרֶיהָ וְאָרוּהָ כׇּל־עֹבְרֵי דָֽרֶךְ׃ |
13 Wild pigs from the forest eat it, wild animals feed on it.
| יְכַרְסְמֶנָּֽה חֲזִיר מִיָּ עַ ר וְזִיז שָׂדַי יִרְעֶֽנָּה׃ |
14 God Almighty, please return to us! Look down from heaven and see what's happening to us! Come and care for this vine
| אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת שֽׁוּב ־ נָא הַבֵּט מִשָּׁמַיִם וּרְאֵה וּפְקֹד גֶּפֶן זֹֽאת׃ |
15 that you planted yourself, this son that you brought up yourself.
| וְ כַ נָּה אֲשֶׁר־נָטְעָה יְמִינֶךָ וְעַל־בֵּן אִמַּצְתָּה לָּֽךְ׃ |
16 We, your vine, have been chopped down and burned. May those who did this die when you glare at them.
| שְׂרֻפָה בָאֵשׁ כְּסוּחָה מִגַּעֲרַת פָּנֶיךָ יֹאבֵֽדוּ׃ |
17 Protect the man who stands beside you; strengthen the son you have chosen.
| תְּֽהִי־יָדְךָ עַל־אִישׁ יְמִינֶךָ עַל־בֶּן־אָדָם אִמַּצְתָּ לָּֽךְ׃ |
18 Then we will not turn away from you. Revive us so we can pray to you.
| וְלֹֽא־נָסוֹג מִמֶּךָּ תְּחַיֵּנוּ וּבְשִׁמְךָ נִקְרָֽא׃ |
19 Lord God Almighty, please restore us! Let your face shine on us so we can be saved.
| יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ הָאֵר פָּנֶיךָ וְנִוָּשֵֽׁעָה׃ |
