Psalms 80

God implored to rescue his people from their calamities.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might,

Turn us again, O God;

O Jehovah God of hosts,

Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears,

Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors;

Turn us again, O God of hosts;

Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt:

Thou preparedst room before it,

The mountains were covered with the shadow of it,

It sent out its branches unto the sea,

Why hast thou broken down its walls,

The boar out of the wood doth ravage it,

Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts:

And the stock which thy right hand planted,

It is burned with fire, it is cut down:

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand,

So shall we not go back from thee:

Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts;
