Psalms 79:2-13

²Attend, O Shepherd of Israel, who guidest Joseph like a flock; thou who sittest upon the cherubs, manifest thyself;

³before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasse, stir up thy power, and come to deliver us.

⁴Turn us, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be delivered.

⁵O Lord God of hosts, how long art thou angry with the prayer of thy servant?

⁶Thou wilt feed us with bread of tears; and wilt cause us to drink tears by measure.

⁷Thou hast made us a strife to our neighbours; and our enemies have mocked at us.

⁸Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Pause.

⁹Thou hast transplanted a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

¹⁰Thou madest a way before it, and didst cause its roots to strike, and the land was filled with it.

¹¹Its shadow covered the mountains, and its shoots equalled the goodly cedars.

¹²It sent forth its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the river.

¹³Wherefore hast thou broken down its hedge, while all that pass by the way pluck it?
