Psalm 80
For the director of music. A psalm of Asaph to the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.”
1Shepherd of Israel, hear us.
You lead the people of Joseph like a flock.
You sit on your throne between the cherubim.
Show your glory
2to the people of Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.
Call your strength into action.
Come and save us.
3God, make us new again.
May you be pleased with us.
Then we will be saved.
4 Lord God, you rule over all.
How long will you be angry?
Will you be angry with your people even when they pray to you?
5You have given us tears as our food.
You have made us drink tears by the bowlful.
6You have let our neighbors mock us.
Our enemies laugh at us.
7God who rules over all, make us new again.
May you be pleased with us.
Then we will be saved.
8You brought Israel out of Egypt.
Israel was like a vine.
After you drove the nations out of Canaan,
you planted the vine in their land.
9You prepared the ground for it.
It took root and spread out over the whole land.
10The mountains were covered with its shade.
The shade of its branches covered the mighty cedar trees.
11Your vine sent its branches out all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.
They reached as far as the Euphrates River.
12Why have you broken down the walls around your vine?
Now all who pass by it can pick its grapes.
13Wild pigs from the forest destroy it.
Insects from the fields feed on it.
14God who rules over all, return to us!
Look down from heaven and see us!
Watch over your vine.
15Guard the root you have planted with your powerful right hand.
Take care of the branch you have raised up for yourself.
16Your vine has been cut down and burned in the fire.
You have been angry with us, and we are dying.
17May you honor the people at your right hand.
May you honor the nation you have raised up for yourself.
18Then we won’t turn away from you.
Give us new life. We will worship you.
19 Lord God who rules over all, make us new again.
May you be pleased with us.
Then we will be saved.

Psalm 80
80
Restore Us, O God
To the choirmaster: according to #Ps. 60, title Lilies. A Testimony. Of #Ps. 50, titleAsaph, a Psalm.
1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead #Ps. 78:67; 81:5 Joseph like #[Ps. 95:7]; See Ps. 77:20 a flock.
You who are #Ps. 99:1; Ex. 25:22; 1 Sam. 4:4; 2 Sam. 6:2 enthroned upon the cherubim, #See Ps. 50:2shine forth.
2Before #See Num. 2:18-24 Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
# See Ps. 35:23 stir up your might
and #[Ps. 118:14, 21]come to save us!
3 # ver. 19; Ps. 60:1; 85:4; Lam. 5:21 Restore us,#80:3 Or Turn us again; also verses 7, 19 O God;
#
Num. 6:25; See Ps. 4:6 let your face shine, that we may be saved!
4O #See Ps. 59:5 Lord God of hosts,
# [Ps. 74:10; 79:5] how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?
5You have fed them with #Ps. 42:3; 102:9; [1 Kgs. 22:27; Isa. 30:20]the bread of tears
and given them tears to drink in full measure.
6 # See Ps. 44:13 You make us an object of contention for our #See Ps. 44:13neighbors,
and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 # [See ver. 3 above] Restore us, O God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!
8You brought #Isa. 5:1; 27:2; Jer. 2:21; 12:10; Ezek. 17:6; Matt. 21:33; Mark 12:1; Luke 20:9 a vine out of Egypt;
you #See Ps. 44:2drove out the nations and planted it.
9You #[Josh. 24:12]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 #See Ps. 72:8the sea
and its shoots to #See Ps. 72:8the River.#80:11 That is, the Euphrates
12Why then have you #Ps. 89:40; Isa. 5:5broken down its walls,
so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
13 # [Jer. 5:6] The boar from the forest ravages it,
and all that move in the field feed on it.
14Turn again, O God of hosts!
# [Isa. 63:15] 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 #Isa. 33:12 burned it with fire; they have #Isa. 33:12 cut it down;
may they perish at #Ps. 76:6; [Ps. 39:11]the rebuke of your face!
17But #Ps. 89:21let 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;
# See Ps. 71:20 give us life, and we will call upon your name!
19 # ver. 3, 7 Restore us, O Lord God of hosts!
Let your face shine, that we may be saved!
