Psalms 80

¹ For the leader; according to "Lilies." Eduth. A psalm of Asaph.

² Shepherd of Israel, listen, guide of the flock of Joseph! From your throne upon the cherubim reveal yourself

³ to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Stir up your power, come to save us.

⁴ O LORD of hosts, restore us; Let your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.

⁵ LORD of hosts, how long will you burn with anger while your people pray?

⁶ You have fed them the bread of tears, made them drink tears in abundance.

⁷ You have left us to be fought over by our neighbors; our enemies deride us.

⁸ O LORD of hosts, restore us; let your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.

⁹ You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove away the nations and planted it.

¹⁰ You cleared the ground; it took root and filled the land.

¹¹ The mountains were covered by its shadow, the cedars of God by its branches.

¹² It sent out boughs as far as the sea, shoots as far as the river.

¹³ Why have you broken down the walls, so that all who pass by pluck its fruit?

¹⁴ The boar from the forest strips the vine; the beast of the field feeds upon it.

¹⁵ Turn again, LORD of hosts; look down from heaven and see; Attend to this vine,

¹⁶ the shoot your right hand has planted.

¹⁷ Those who would burn or cut it down-- may they perish at your rebuke.

¹⁸ May your help be with the man at your right hand, with the one whom you once made strong.

¹⁹ Then we will not withdraw from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.

²⁰ LORD of hosts, restore us; let your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
