80:1

Book III: The Shepherd of Yashar'al and the Restoration of the Vine

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim-Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Yashar'al, thou that leadest Yusaph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
80:2
Before Ephrayim and Binyamiyn and Manashah stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
80:3

The Restoration Refrain

Turn us again, O Alahiym, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
80:4
O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Alahiym 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 Alahiym of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
80:8

The Vine of Alahiym

Thou hast brought a vine out of Mitzrayim: 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.
80:12
Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
80:13
The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
80:14

The Petition for Visitation

Return, we beseech thee, O Alahiym of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
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

The Man of the Right Hand

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 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Alahiym of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
