Psalms 80
80
For the choir director: A psalm of Asaph, to be sung to the tune “Lilies of the Covenant.”
1Please listen, O Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph’s descendants like a flock.
O God, enthroned above the cherubim,
display your radiant glory
2to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.
Show us your mighty power.
Come to rescue us!
3Turn us again to yourself, O God.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.
4O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies,
how long will you be angry with our prayers?
5You have fed us with sorrow
and made us drink tears by the bucketful.
6You have made us the scorn#80:6 As in Syriac version; Hebrew reads the strife. of neighboring nations.
Our enemies treat us as a joke.
7Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.
8You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine;
you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.
9You cleared the ground for us,
and we took root and filled the land.
10Our shade covered the mountains;
our branches covered the mighty cedars.
11We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea;
our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.#80:11 Hebrew west to the sea, . . . east to the river.
12But now, why have you broken down our walls
so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?
13The wild boar from the forest devours it,
and the wild animals feed on it.
14Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies.
Look down from heaven and see our plight.
Take care of this grapevine
15that you yourself have planted,
this son you have raised for yourself.
16For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies.
May they perish at the sight of your frown.
17Strengthen the man you love,
the son of your choice.
18Then we will never abandon you again.
Revive us so we can call on your name once more.
19Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.

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.
