Book of Psalms, No. 80
No. 80 of the Psalms
thou who leadest Joseph like a flock!
Thou who art enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth
Stir up thy might,
and come to save us!
let thy face shine, that we may be saved!
how long wilt thou be angry with thy people’s prayers?
and given them tears to drink in full measure.
and our enemies laugh among themselves.
let thy face shine, that we may be saved!
thou didst drive out the nations and plant it.
it took deep root and filled the land.
the mighty cedars with its branches;
and its shoots to the River.
so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
and all that move in the field feed on it.
Look down from heaven, and see;
have regard for this vine,
may they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance!
the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself!
give us life, and we will call on thy name!
let thy face shine, that we may be saved!FOOTNOTES
