< Psalms 80 >

1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubim, shine forth.
לַמְנַצֵּחַ אֶל־שֹׁשַׁנִּים עֵדוּת לְאָסָף מִזְמֽוֹר׃ רֹעֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל ׀ הַאֲזִינָה נֹהֵג כַּצֹּאן יוֹסֵף יֹשֵׁב הַכְּרוּבִים הוֹפִֽיעָה׃
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
לִפְנֵי אֶפְרַיִם ׀ וּבִנְיָמִן וּמְנַשֶּׁה עוֹרְרָה אֶת־גְּבוּרָתֶךָ וּלְכָה לִישֻׁעָתָה לָּֽנוּ׃
3 Restore us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
אֱלֹהִים הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ וְהָאֵר פָּנֶיךָ וְנִוָּשֵֽׁעָה׃
4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת עַד־מָתַי עָשַׁנְתָּ בִּתְפִלַּת עַמֶּֽךָ׃
5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
הֶאֱכַלְתָּם לֶחֶם דִּמְעָה וַתַּשְׁקֵמוֹ בִּדְמָעוֹת שָׁלִֽישׁ׃
6 Thou makest us a strife to our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
תְּשִׂימֵנוּ מָדוֹן לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ וְאֹיְבֵינוּ יִלְעֲגוּ־לָֽמוֹ׃
7 Restore us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ וְהָאֵר פָּנֶיךָ וְנִוָּשֵֽׁעָה׃
8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
גֶּפֶן מִמִּצְרַיִם תַּסִּיעַ תְּגָרֵשׁ גּוֹיִם וַתִּטָּעֶֽהָ׃
9 Thou didst prepare room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
פִּנִּיתָ לְפָנֶיהָ וַתַּשְׁרֵשׁ שׇׁרָשֶׁיהָ וַתְּמַלֵּא־אָֽרֶץ׃
10 The hills were covered with its shadow, and its boughs were like the goodly cedars.
כָּסּוּ הָרִים צִלָּהּ וַעֲנָפֶיהָ אַֽרְזֵי־אֵֽל׃
11 She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river.
תְּשַׁלַּח קְצִירֶהָ עַד־יָם וְאֶל־נָהָר יוֹנְקוֹתֶֽיהָ׃
12 Why hast thou then broke down her hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck her?
לָמָּה פָּרַצְתָּ גְדֵרֶיהָ וְאָרוּהָ כׇּל־עֹבְרֵי דָֽרֶךְ׃
13 The boar from the forest doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
יְכַרְסְמֶנָּֽה חֲזִיר מִיָּ עַ ר וְזִיז שָׂדַי יִרְעֶֽנָּה׃
14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת שֽׁוּב ־ נָא הַבֵּט מִשָּׁמַיִם וּרְאֵה וּפְקֹד גֶּפֶן זֹֽאת׃
15 And the vineyard which thy right hand planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
וְ כַ נָּה אֲשֶׁר־נָטְעָה יְמִינֶךָ וְעַל־בֵּן אִמַּצְתָּה לָּֽךְ׃
16 It is burnt with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
שְׂרֻפָה בָאֵשׁ כְּסוּחָה מִגַּעֲרַת פָּנֶיךָ יֹאבֵֽדוּ׃
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
תְּֽהִי־יָדְךָ עַל־אִישׁ יְמִינֶךָ עַל־בֶּן־אָדָם אִמַּצְתָּ לָּֽךְ׃
18 So will we not go back from thee: revive us, and we will call upon thy name.
וְלֹֽא־נָסוֹג מִמֶּךָּ תְּחַיֵּנוּ וּבְשִׁמְךָ נִקְרָֽא׃
19 Restore us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ הָאֵר פָּנֶיךָ וְנִוָּשֵֽׁעָה׃
