Psalms 80

Prayer for Israel’s Restoration
To the Chief Musician. #Ps. 45:titleSet to “The Lilies.” A Testimony of Asaph. A Psalm.
1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
#(Ex. 25:20–22); 1 Sam. 4:4; 2 Sam. 6:2You who lead Joseph #Ps. 77:20like a flock;
You who dwell between the cherubim, #Deut. 33:2shine forth!
2Before #Ps. 78:9, 67Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
Stir up Your strength,
And come and save us!
3#Lam. 5:21Restore us, O God;
#Num. 6:25; Ps. 4:6Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!
4O Lord God of hosts,
#Ps. 79:5How long will You be angry
Against the prayer of Your people?
5#Ps. 42:3; Is. 30:20You have fed them with the bread of tears,
And given them tears to drink in great measure.
6You have made us a strife to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7Restore us, O God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!
8You have brought #(Is. 5:1, 7); Jer. 2:21; Ezek. 15:6; 17:6; 19:10a vine out of Egypt;
#Ps. 44:2; Acts 7:45You have cast out the nations, and planted it.
9You prepared room for it,
And caused it to take deep root,
And it filled the land.
10The hills were covered with its shadow,
And the mighty cedars with its #Lev. 23:40boughs.
11She sent out her boughs to the Sea,
And her branches to the River.
12Why have You #Is. 5:5; Nah. 2:2broken down her hedges,
So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?
13The boar out of the woods uproots it,
And the wild beast of the field devours it.
14Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts;
#Is. 63:15Look down from heaven and see,
And visit this vine
15And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted,
And the branch that You made strong #(Is. 49:5)for Yourself.
16It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
#(Ps. 39:11)They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
17#Ps. 89:21Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.
18Then we will not turn back from You;
Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
19Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

Psalm 80
For the choir director; according to shoshannim eduth; by Asaph; a psalm.
1Open your ears, O Shepherd of Israel,
the one who leads ⌞the descendants of⌟ Joseph like sheep,
the one who is enthroned over the angels.#80:1 Or “cherubim.”
2Appear in front of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.
Wake up your power, and come to save us.
3O God, restore us and smile on us
so that we may be saved.
4O Lord God, commander of armies, how long will you smolder in anger
against the prayer of your people?
5You made them eat tears as food.
You often made them drink ⌞their own⌟ tears.
6You made us a source of conflict to our neighbors,
and our enemies made fun of us.
7O God, commander of armies, restore us and smile on us
so that we may be saved.
8You brought a vine from Egypt.
You forced out the nations and planted it.
9You cleared the ground for it
so that it took root and filled the land.
10Its shade covered the mountains.
Its branches covered the mighty cedars.
11It reached out with its branches to the Mediterranean Sea.
Its shoots reached the Euphrates River.
12Why did you break down the stone fences around this vine?
All who pass by are picking its fruit.
13Wild boars from the forest graze on it.
Wild animals devour it.
14O God, commander of armies, come back!
Look from heaven and see!
Come to help this vine.
15Take care of what your right hand planted,
the son you strengthened for yourself.
16The vine has been cut down and burned.
Let them be destroyed by the threatening look on your face.
17Let your power rest on the man you have chosen,
the son of man you strengthened for yourself.
18Then we will never turn away from you.
Give us life again, and we will call on you.
19O Lord God, commander of armies, restore us, and smile on us
so that we may be saved.
