Psalms 80
80
To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Testimony of Asaph. A Psalm.
1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
thou who leadest Joseph like a flock!
Thou who art enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth
2before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh!
Stir up thy might,
and come to save us!
3Restore us, O God;
let thy face shine, that we may be saved!
4O Lord God of hosts,
how long wilt thou be angry with thy people's prayers?
5Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears,
and given them tears to drink in full measure.
6Thou dost make us the scorn#80.6 Syr: Heb strife of our neighbors;
and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7Restore us, O God of hosts;
let thy face shine, that we may be saved!
8Thou didst bring a vine out of Egypt;
thou didst drive out the nations and plant it.
9Thou didst clear 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 the sea,
and its shoots to the River.
12Why then hast thou broken down its walls,
so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
13The boar from the forest ravages it,
and all that move in the field feed on it.
14Turn again, O God of hosts!
Look down from heaven, and see;
have regard for this vine,
15the stock which thy right hand planted.#80.15 Heb planted and upon the son whom thou hast reared for thyself
16They have burned it with fire, they have cut it down;
may they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance!
17But let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand,
the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself!
18Then we will never turn back from thee;
give us life, and we will call on thy name!
19Restore us, O Lord God of hosts!
let thy face shine, that we may 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.
