PRAYER PSALM 80
Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.
(Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of
Israel, my Father)
O YHVH, Elohey
Tzva’ot (God of the Armies),
You have fed us, Your chosen ones, with the bread of tears and have given to
us tears to drink in great measure. You,
El Ro’eh (God Who Sees and Provides), have made us an object of strife to our neighbors; and
our enemies laugh at us among themselves.
As our husbandman, You brought us like a vine out of
Egypt. You, Moshi’ee (my Savior/Deliverer), cast out the nations and
planted us on our inheritance, in the land of Canaan. You prepared room for us and caused our root
to go deep into the soil and to grow until we filled the land. The hills as well as the boughs of the mighty
cedars were covered with the shadow of Your vineyard. You, Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy),
sent out our boughs to the sea and our branches to the river.
But because of our unfaithfulness, adultery and
idolatry You, Shofet Tzedek (Judge of
Righteousness), have broken down our
hedges, so that all who pass by the way pluck our fruit. The
boar, out of the woods uprooted Your vineyard; and the wild beast of the field
devoured it.
O YHVH
– Elohey Yeshua’teynu (God of our Salvation), return. We
beseech You, Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), look down from heaven and see; visit Your vine and the vineyard which
Y’min’cha (Your Right Hand) had planted, and the branch that You made strong for Yourself. It has been burned with fire; it has been cut
down; we have perished at the rebuke of Your countenance.
Restore us, O El HaKavod (God of Glory);
cause Your face to shine, so that we may be saved! Let Your hand be upon the man of Y’min’cha (Your Right Hand), upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself. Revive us and we will call upon Your name; we
will not turn back from You. Restore us,
O Tzur Yisrael (Rock of Israel). Give ear,
Ro’eh Yisrael (Shepherd of
Israel), You who lead Yoseph like a
flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth! Before Ephraim, Binyamin, and Menasheh stir up
Your strength and come and save us! Cause
Your face to shine, Elohey Yeshua’teynu
(God of our Salvation), and we shall be saved!
Hallelu-Yah!!! For You,
YHVH, are Elohim. You are Elohey
Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov.
Avi the Almighty reigns!
