Ch 80 / 150~2 min
TehillimChapter 80
Restore Us, O Shepherd of Israel
The prayer for the 'Ben Adam' to be strengthened at Elohim's right hand is a cry for Mashiach answered in Yeshua, the Ben Adam exalted at the Father's right hand.
- Restore Us, O Elohim of Hosts
A cry for Elohim to restore Israel. 'Shine Your face upon us' — the refrain repeats three times with growing urgency.
- 1Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.
- 2Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!
- 3Turn us again, Elohim. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
- 4LORD God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
- 5You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
- 6You make us a source of contention to our neighbours. Our enemies laugh amongst themselves.
- 7Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
- The Vine From Egypt
Israel is pictured as a vine Elohim brought out of Egypt. But the vine is broken — who will mend it?
- 8You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.
- 9You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.
- 10The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like Elohim’s cedars.
- 11It sent out its branches to the sea, its shoots to the River.
- 12Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
- 13The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.
- 14Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,
- 15the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.
- 16It’s burnt with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
- 17Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
- 18So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.
- 19Turn us again, LORD God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
