Tehillim 80:8-19

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^8 (9) Thou hast brought a gefen (vine) out of Mitzrayim; Thou hast drove out Goyim, and planted it.

^9 (10) Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the eretz.

^10 (11) The harim were covered with the tzel (shadow) of it, and the branches thereof were like the mighty cedars.

^11 (12) It sent out its branches unto the yam (sea, i.e., Mediterranean Sea) and its shoots unto the Nahar (river, i.e., the Euphrates).

^12 (13) Lammah (why) hast Thou then broken down her walls, so that all they which pass by the derech do pluck her?

^13 (14) The chazir (wild boar) out of the forest doth lay it waste, and the beasts of the sadeh doth devour it.

^14 (15) Shuv nah (return now), we beseech Thee, O Elohim Tzva’os; look down from Shomayim, and behold, and visit gefen zot (this vine);

^15 (16) And the stock which Thy Yamin (Right Hand) hath planted, and the Ben that Thou madest strong for Thyself.

^16 (17) It is burned with eish, it is cut down; they perish at the ge’arah (rebuke) of Thy countenance.

^17 (18) Let Thy Yad be upon the Ish Yeminecha (the Man of your Right Hand), upon the Ben Adam whom Thou madest strong for Thyself [cf Psalm 110:1; Dan 7:13].

^18 (19) So will we never turn back from Thee; revive us, and we will call upon Thy Shem.

¹⁹ Turn us again, Hashem Elohim Tzva’os; cause Thy face to shine that we may be saved.
