Psalms 80
80
To the director: To the tune “Lilies of the Agreement.” One of Asaph’s songs of praise.
1Shepherd of Israel, listen to us.
You lead your people#80:1 your people Literally, “Joseph,” the father of Ephraim and Manasseh, whose names are often used to mean all the tribes in northern Israel. like sheep.
You sit on your throne above the Cherub angels.
Let us see you.
2Shepherd of Israel, show your greatness to the tribes of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.
Come and save your people.
3God, accept us again.
Smile down on us and save us!
4Lord God All-Powerful, when will you listen to our prayers?
How long will you be angry with us?
5Instead of bread and water,
you gave your people tears.
6You made us the target of everyone’s hatred.
Our enemies make fun of us.
7God All-Powerful, accept us again.
Smile down on us and save us!
8When you brought us out of Egypt,
we were like your special vine.
You forced other nations to leave this land,
and you planted that vine here.
9You prepared the ground for it,
and it sent its roots down deep and spread throughout the land.
10It covered the mountains,
and its leaves shaded even the giant cedar trees.
11Its branches spread to the Mediterranean Sea,
its shoots to the Euphrates River.
12God, why did you pull down the walls that protect your vine?
Now everyone who passes by picks its grapes.
13Wild pigs come and ruin it.
Wild animals eat the leaves.
14God All-Powerful, come back.
Look down from heaven at your vine and protect it.
15Look at the vine you planted with your own hands.
Look at the young plant#80:15 young plant Literally, “son.” you raised.
16Our enemies have cut it down and burned it up.
Show them how angry you are and destroy them.
17Reach out and help your chosen one.#80:17 chosen one Literally, “the man of your right hand.”
Reach out to the people#80:17 people Literally, “son of man.” you raised up.
18Then we will never leave you.
Let us live, and we will worship you.
19Lord God All-Powerful, accept us again.
Smile down on us and save us!

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!
