Psalms 80

¹To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] "Lilies, a Testimony." A Psalm of Asaph. Hear us O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who sit enthroned above the cherubim [of the ark of the covenant], shine forth!

²Before[1] Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your power And come to save us!

³Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine on us [with favor and approval], and we will be saved.

⁴O LORD God of hosts, How long will You be angry with the prayers of Your people?

⁵You have fed them the bread of tears, And You have made them drink [bitter] tears in abundance.

⁶You make us an object of contention to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh [at our suffering] among themselves.

⁷Restore us, O God of hosts; And cause Your face to shine on us [with favor and approval], and we will be saved.

⁸You uprooted a vine (Israel) from Egypt; You drove out the [Canaanite] nations and planted the vine [in Canaan].

⁹You cleared away the ground before it, And it took deep root and filled the land.

¹⁰The mountains were covered with its shadow, And its branches were like the cedars of God.

¹¹Israel sent out its branches to the [Mediterranean] Sea, And its branches to the [Euphrates] River.

¹²Why have You broken down its[2] walls and hedges, So that all who pass by pick its fruit?

¹³A boar from the woods eats it away, And the insects of the field feed on it.

¹⁴Turn again [in favor to us], O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,

¹⁵Even the stock which Your right hand has planted, And [look down on] the son that You have reared and strengthened for Yourself.

¹⁶It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your [angry] appearance.

¹⁷Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself.

¹⁸Then we shall not turn back from You; Revive us and we will call on Your name.

¹⁹Restore us, O LORD God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine on us [in favor and approval], and we shall be saved.
