Psalm 80

¹Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth

²before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Your mighty power and come to save us.

³Restore us, O God, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

⁴O LORD God of Hosts, how long will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people?

⁵You fed them with the bread of tears and made them drink the full measure of their tears.

⁶You make us contend with our neighbors; our enemies mock us.

⁷Restore us, O God of Hosts, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

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

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

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

¹¹It sent out its branches to the Sea, and its shoots toward the River.

¹²Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit?

¹³The boar from the forest ravages it, and the creatures of the field feed upon it.

¹⁴Return, O God of Hosts, we pray! Look down from heaven and see! Attend to this vine—

¹⁵the root Your right hand has planted, the son You have raised up for Yourself.

¹⁶Your vine has been cut down and burned; they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

¹⁷Let Your hand be upon the man at Your right hand, on 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, O LORD God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
