Psalms 80

¹Listen to us, O Shepherd of Israel; hear us, leader of your flock. Seated on your throne above the winged creatures,

²reveal yourself to the tribes of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Show us your strength; come and save us!

³Bring us back, O God! Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!

⁴How much longer, LORD God Almighty, will you be angry with your people's prayers?

⁵You have given us sorrow to eat, a large cup of tears to drink.

⁶You let the surrounding nations fight over our land; our enemies insult us.

⁷Bring us back, Almighty God! Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!

⁸You brought a grapevine out of Egypt; you drove out other nations and planted it in their land.

⁹You cleared a place for it to grow; its roots went deep, and it spread out over the whole land.

¹⁰It covered the hills with its shade; its branches overshadowed the giant cedars.

¹¹It extended its branches to the Mediterranean Sea and as far as the Euphrates River.

¹²Why did you break down the fences around it? Now anyone passing by can steal its grapes;

¹³wild hogs trample it down, and wild animals feed on it.

¹⁴Turn to us, Almighty God! Look down from heaven at us; come and save your people!

¹⁵Come and save this grapevine that you planted, this young vine you made grow so strong!

¹⁶Our enemies have set it on fire and cut it down; look at them in anger and destroy them!

¹⁷Preserve and protect the people you have chosen, the nation you made so strong.

¹⁸We will never turn away from you again; keep us alive, and we will praise you.

¹⁹Bring us back, LORD God Almighty. Show us your mercy, and we will be saved.
