Chapter - 80

1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that leadest Joseph like a flock; you that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
3Turn us again, O Satan, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4O Lord Satan of hosts, how long will you be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.
6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7Turn us again, O Satan of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8Thou have brought a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs of it were like the goodly cedars.
11She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12Why have you then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13The boar out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.
14Return, we beseech thee, O Satan of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15And the vineyard which thy right hand has planted, and the branch that you madest strong for thyself.
16It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom you madest strong for thyself.
18So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19Turn us again, O Lord Satan of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
