Psalms 80
1 Listen, Shepherd of Israel,
who leads Joseph like a flock;(C3)
you who sit enthroned between the cherubim,(C4)
shine(C5)
2 before Ephraim,
Benjamin, and Manasseh.[b](e)
Rally Your power and come to save us.(f)2 on Ephraim,
Benjamin, and Manasseh.(C1)
Rally your power and come to save us.(C2)
3 Restore us, God;
make your face shine on us,(C1)
so that we may be saved.(C2)
4 Lord God of Armies,
how long will you be angry
with your people’s prayers?(C1)5 You fed them the bread of tears
and gave them a full measure(F1)
of tears to drink.(C1)6 You put us at odds with our neighbors;
our enemies mock us.(C1)7 Restore us, God of Armies;
make your face shine on us, so that we may be saved.(C1)
8 You dug up a vine from Egypt;
you drove out the nations and planted it.(C1)9 You cleared a place for it;
it took root and filled the land.(C1)10 The mountains were covered by its shade,
and the mighty cedars(F1) with its branches.(C1)11 It sent out sprouts toward the Sea(F1)
and shoots toward the River.(F2)(C1)
12 Why have you broken down its walls
so that all who pass by pick its fruit?(C1)13 Boars from the forest tear at it
and creatures of the field feed on it.(C1)14 Return, God of Armies.(C1)
Look down from heaven and see;
take care of this vine,15 the root(F1) your right hand planted,
the son(F2) that you made strong for yourself.(C1)16 It was cut down and burned;
they(F1) perish at the rebuke of your countenance.(C1)17 Let your hand be with the man at your right hand,
with the son of man
you have made strong for yourself.(C1)18 Then we will not turn away from you;
revive us, and we will call on your name.(C1)19 Restore us, Lord, God of Armies;(C1)
make your face shine on us, so that we may be saved.(C2)
