Psalms 80
80
For the music director. A psalm of Asaph. To the tune “Lilies of the Covenant.”
1Please hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead the descendants of Joseph like a flock. You who sit on your throne above the cherubim, shine out
2in the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Gather together your power and come to save us!
3God, please restore us! Let your face shine on us so we can be saved.
4Lord God Almighty, how long will you be angry with the prayers of your people?
5You fed them with the bread of tears, and gave them a full bowl#80:5. Literally, “full measure.” of tears to drink.
6You turn us into victims our neighbors fight over; our enemies mock us.
7God Almighty, please restore us! Let your face shine on us so we can be saved!
8You carried us out of Egypt like a vine. You drove out the heathen nations, and then you planted the vine.
9You prepared the ground for the vine. It took root and filled the land.
10The mountains were covered by its shade; its branches covered the great cedars.
11It sent its branches as far west as the Mediterranean Sea, and its shoots as far east as the Euphrates River.
12So why have you broken down the walls that protect it#80:12 “That protect it”: implied. so that everyone who passes by can steal its fruit?
13Wild pigs from the forest eat it, wild animals feed on it.
14God Almighty, please return to us! Look down from heaven and see what's happening to us! Come and care for this vine
15that you planted yourself, this son that you brought up yourself.
16We, your vine, have been chopped down and burned. May those who did this#80:16. Implied. die when you glare at them.
17Protect the man who stands beside you; strengthen the son you have chosen.
18Then we will not turn away from you. Revive us so we can pray to you.#80:18. Literally, “call on your name.”
19Lord God Almighty, please restore us! Let your face shine on us so we can 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!
