Psalm 80

To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Testimony. Of Asaph, a Psalm.

¹Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph like a flock.
You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.

²Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
stir up your might
and come to save us!

³ Restore us, O God;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!

⁴O Lord God of hosts,
how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?

⁵You have fed them with the bread of tears
and given them tears to drink in full measure.

⁶ You make us an object of contention for our neighbors,
and our enemies laugh among themselves.

⁷ Restore us, O God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!

⁸You brought a vine out of Egypt;
you drove out the nations and planted it.

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

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

¹¹It sent out its branches to the sea
and its shoots to the River.

¹²Why then have you broken down its walls,
so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?

¹³ The boar from the forest ravages it,
and all that move in the field feed on it.

¹⁴Turn again, O God of hosts!
Look down from heaven, and see;
have regard for this vine,

¹⁵the stock that your right hand planted,
and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.

¹⁶They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down;
may they perish at the rebuke of your face!

¹⁷But let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!

¹⁸Then we shall not turn back from you;
give us life, and we will call upon your name!

¹⁹ Restore us, O Lord God of hosts!
Let your face shine, that we may be saved!
