תְהִלִּים 80

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ אֶל־שֹׁשַׁנִּ֑ים עֵד֖וּת לְאָסָ֣ף מִזְמֹֽור׃ רֹ֘עֵ֤ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֨ל ׀ הַאֲזִ֗ינָה נֹהֵ֣ג כַּצֹּ֣אן יֹוסֵ֑ף יֹשֵׁ֖ב הַכְּרוּבִ֣ים הֹופִֽיעָה׃

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

2 לִפְנֵ֤י אֶפְרַ֨יִם ׀ וּבִנְיָ֘מִ֤ן וּמְנַשֶּׁ֗ה עֹורְרָ֥ה אֶת־גְּבֽוּרָתֶ֑ךָ וּלְכָ֖ה לִישֻׁעָ֣תָה לָּֽנוּ׃

in the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Gather together your power and come to save us!

3 אֱלֹהִ֥ים הֲשִׁיבֵ֑נוּ וְהָאֵ֥ר פָּ֝נֶ֗יךָ וְנִוָּשֵֽׁעָה׃

God, please restore us! Let your face shine on us so we can be saved.

4 יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְבָאֹ֑ות עַד־מָתַ֥י עָ֝שַׁ֗נְתָּ בִּתְפִלַּ֥ת עַמֶּֽךָ׃

Lord God Almighty, how long will you be angry with the prayers of your people?

5 הֶ֭אֱכַלְתָּם לֶ֣חֶם דִּמְעָ֑ה וַ֝תַּשְׁקֵ֗מֹו בִּדְמָעֹ֥ות שָׁלִֽישׁ׃

You fed them with the bread of tears, and gave them a full bowl of tears to drink.

6 תְּשִׂימֵ֣נוּ מָ֭דֹון לִשְׁכֵנֵ֑ינוּ וְ֝אֹיְבֵ֗ינוּ יִלְעֲגוּ־לָֽמֹו׃

You turn us into victims our neighbors fight over; our enemies mock us.

7 אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְבָאֹ֣ות הֲשִׁיבֵ֑נוּ וְהָאֵ֥ר פָּ֝נֶ֗יךָ וְנִוָּשֵֽׁעָה׃

God Almighty, please restore us! Let your face shine on us so we can be saved!

8 גֶּ֭פֶן מִמִּצְרַ֣יִם תַּסִּ֑יעַ תְּגָרֵ֥שׁ גֹּ֝ויִ֗ם וַתִּטָּעֶֽהָ׃

You carried us out of Egypt like a vine. You drove out the heathen nations, and then you planted the vine.

9 פִּנִּ֥יתָ לְפָנֶ֑יהָ וַתַּשְׁרֵ֥שׁ שָׁ֝רָשֶׁ֗יהָ וַתְּמַלֵּא־אָֽרֶץ׃

You prepared the ground for the vine. It took root and filled the land.

10 כָּסּ֣וּ הָרִ֣ים צִלָּ֑הּ וַ֝עֲנָפֶ֗יהָ אַֽרְזֵי־אֵֽל׃

The mountains were covered by its shade; its branches covered the great cedars.

11 תְּשַׁלַּ֣ח קְצִירֶ֣הָ עַד־יָ֑ם וְאֶל־נָ֝הָ֗ר יֹֽונְקֹותֶֽיהָ׃

It sent its branches as far west as the Mediterranean Sea, and its shoots as far east as the Euphrates River.

12 לָ֭מָּה פָּרַ֣צְתָּ גְדֵרֶ֑יהָ וְ֝אָר֗וּהָ כָּל־עֹ֥בְרֵי דָֽרֶךְ׃

So why have you broken down the walls that protect it so that everyone who passes by can steal its fruit?

13 יְכַרְסְמֶ֣נָּֽה חֲזִ֣יר מִיָּ֑עַר וְזִ֖יז שָׂדַ֣י יִרְעֶֽנָּה׃

Wild pigs from the forest eat it, wild animals feed on it.

14 אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְבָאֹות֮ שֽׁ֫וּב־נָ֥א הַבֵּ֣ט מִשָּׁמַ֣יִם וּרְאֵ֑ה וּ֝פְקֹ֗ד גֶּ֣פֶן זֹֽאת׃

God Almighty, please return to us! Look down from heaven and see what's happening to us! Come and care for this vine

15 וְ֭כַנָּה אֲשֶׁר־נָטְעָ֣ה יְמִינֶ֑ךָ וְעַל־בֵּ֝֗ן אִמַּ֥צְתָּה לָּֽךְ׃

that you planted yourself, this son that you brought up yourself.

16 שְׂרֻפָ֣ה בָאֵ֣שׁ כְּסוּחָ֑ה מִגַּעֲרַ֖ת פָּנֶ֣יךָ יֹאבֵֽדוּ׃

We, your vine, have been chopped down and burned. May those who did this die when you glare at them.

17 תְּֽהִי־יָ֭דְךָ עַל־אִ֣ישׁ יְמִינֶ֑ךָ עַל־בֶּן־אָ֝דָ֗ם אִמַּ֥צְתָּ לָּֽךְ׃

Protect the man who stands beside you; strengthen the son you have chosen.

18 וְלֹא־נָסֹ֥וג מִמֶּ֑ךָּ תְּ֝חַיֵּ֗נוּ וּבְשִׁמְךָ֥ נִקְרָֽא׃

Then we will not turn away from you. Revive us so we can pray to you.

19 יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְבָאֹ֣ות הֲשִׁיבֵ֑נוּ הָאֵ֥ר פָּ֝נֶ֗יךָ וְנִוָּשֵֽׁעָה׃

Lord God Almighty, please restore us! Let your face shine on us so we can be saved.
