Psalm 80
Hear Us, O Shepherd of Israel
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm of Asaph.
¹ Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth
² before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Your mighty power and come to save us.
³ Restore us, O God, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
⁴ O LORD God of Hosts, how long will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people?
⁵ You fed them with the bread of tears and made them drink the full measure of their tears.
⁶ You make us contend with our neighbors; our enemies mock us.
⁷ Restore us, O God of Hosts, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
⁸ You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and transplanted it.
⁹ You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
¹⁰ The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.
¹¹ It sent out its branches to the Sea,1 and its shoots toward the River.2
¹² Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit?
¹³ The boar from the forest ravages it, and the creatures of the field feed upon it.
¹⁴ Return, O God of Hosts, we pray! Look down from heaven and see! Attend to this vine—
¹⁵ the root Your right hand has planted, the son You have raised up for Yourself.
¹⁶ Your vine has been cut down and burned; they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
¹⁷ Let Your hand be upon the man at Your right hand, on the son of man You have raised up for Yourself.
¹⁸ Then we will not turn away from You; revive us, and we will call on Your name.
¹⁹ Restore us, O LORD God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
