80:7 O God, invincible warrior, 1 restore us!
Smile on us! 2 Then we will be delivered! 3
80:8 You uprooted a vine 4 from Egypt;
you drove out nations and transplanted it.
80:9 You cleared the ground for it; 5
it took root, 6
and filled the land.
80:10 The mountains were covered by its shadow,
the highest cedars 7 by its branches.
80:11 Its branches reached the Mediterranean Sea, 8
and its shoots the Euphrates River. 9
80:12 Why did you break down its walls, 10
so that all who pass by pluck its fruit? 11
80:13 The wild boars of the forest ruin it; 12
the insects 13 of the field feed on it.
80:14 O God, invincible warrior, 14 come back!
Look down from heaven and take notice!
Take care of this vine,
80:15 the root 15 your right hand planted,
the shoot you made to grow! 16
80:16 It is burned 17 and cut down.
They die because you are displeased with them. 18
80:17 May you give support to the one you have chosen, 19
to the one whom you raised up for yourself! 20
80:18 Then we will not turn away from you.
Revive us and we will pray to you! 21
80:19 O Lord God, invincible warrior, 22 restore us!
Smile on us! 23 Then we will be delivered! 24
