Psalms 80

1 For the chief musician, set to the Shoshannim Eduth style. A psalm of Asaph. Pay attention, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock; you who sit above the cherubim, shine on us!⋮

2 In the sight of Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your power; come and save us.⋮

3 God, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.⋮

4 Yahweh God of hosts, how long will you be angry at your people when they pray?⋮

5 You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in great quantities.⋮

6 You make us something for our neighbors to argue over, and our enemies laugh about us among themselves.⋮

7 God of hosts, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.⋮

8 You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out nations and transplanted it.⋮

9 You cleared the land for it; it took root and filled the land.⋮

10 The mountains were covered with its shade, the cedars of God by its branches.⋮

11 It sent out its branches as far as the sea and its shoots to the Euphrates River.⋮

12 Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by along the road pluck its fruit?⋮

13 The boars out of the forest ruin it, and the beasts of the field feed on it.⋮

14 Turn back, God of hosts; look down from heaven and take notice and take care of this vine.⋮

15 This is the root that your right hand planted, the shoot that you made to grow.⋮

16 It has been burned and cut down; they perish because of your rebuke.⋮

17 May your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.⋮

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

19 Yahweh God of hosts, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.⋮
