Psalm 80

¹For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” Of Asaph. A psalm. [1] Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth

²before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might; come and save us.

³Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.

⁴How long, LORD God Almighty, will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people?

⁵You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.

⁶You have made us an object of derision [147] to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.

⁷Restore us, God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.

⁸You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.

⁹You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.

¹⁰The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.

¹¹Its branches reached as far as the Sea, [148] its shoots as far as the River. [149]

¹²Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes?

¹³Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it.

¹⁴Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,

¹⁵the root your right hand has planted, the son [150] you have raised up for yourself.

¹⁶Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.

¹⁷Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself.

¹⁸Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.

¹⁹Restore us, LORD God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
