A Prayer to Restore Israel
For the music director, according to The Lilies.
A testimony. Of Asaph. A psalm.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1Give ear, O shepherd of Israel,
who leads Joseph like a flock.
Shine forth, you who sits enthroned above the cherubim.
2Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
stir up your power
and come for our salvation.
3O God, restore us,
and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.
4O Yahweh God of hosts,
how long will you be angry#Literally “until when your anger smoke”
against the prayer of your people?
5You have fed them the bread of tears;
you have given them tears to drink in full measure.#The Hebrew “threefold” or “a third of a measure” is difficult
6You have made us an object of strife to our neighbors,
and our enemies mock among themselves.
7O God of hosts, restore us
and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.
8You uprooted a vine from Egypt;
you drove out the nations and planted it.
9You prepared a place before it,
and it took deep root#Literally “its root rooted” and filled the land.
10The mountains were covered with its shade,
and the mighty cedars with its boughs.
11It spread its branches to the sea
and its shoots to the river.
12Why have you broken down its walls,
so that all who pass on the road pluck fruit from it?
13Swine from the forests devour#Hebrew “devours” it
and creatures of the field feed on it.
14Please return, O God of hosts.
Observe from heaven and see,
and pay attention to this vine,
15eventhe stalk that your right hand planted,
and concerning the shoot#Hebrew “son” you strengthened for yourself.
16It is burned with fire, cut down.
They perish at the rebuke of your face.
17Let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
on the son of humankind whom you made strong for yourself.
18Then we will not turn back from you.
Restore us to life, and we will proclaim your name.
19O Yahweh God of hosts, restore us;
cause your face to 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.
