Psalms 80

Prayer for Israel’s Restoration

To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“The Lilies.” A [b]Testimony of Asaph. A Psalm.

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
You who lead Joseph like a flock;
You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!

For the choir director: A psalm of Asaph, to be sung to the tune “Lilies of the Covenant.”

Please listen, O Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph’s descendants like a flock.
O God, enthroned above the cherubim,
display your radiant glory

Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
Stir up Your strength,
And come and save us!

to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.
Show us your mighty power.
Come to rescue us!

Restore us, O God;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

Turn us again to yourself, O God.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.

O Lord God of hosts,
How long will You be angry
Against the prayer of Your people?

O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies,
how long will you be angry with our prayers?

You have fed them with the bread of tears,
And given them tears to drink in great measure.

You have fed us with sorrow
and made us drink tears by the bucketful.

You have made us a strife to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.

You have made us the scorna of neighboring nations.
Our enemies treat us as a joke.

Restore us, O God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.

You have brought a vine out of Egypt;
You have cast out the [c]nations, and planted it.

You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine;
you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.

You prepared room for it,
And caused it to take deep root,
And it filled the land.

You cleared the ground for us,
and we took root and filled the land.

The hills were covered with its shadow,
And the [d]mighty cedars with its boughs.

Our shade covered the mountains;
our branches covered the mighty cedars.

She sent out her boughs to [e]the Sea,
And her branches to [f]the River.

We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea;
our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.b

Why have You broken down her [g]hedges,
So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?

But now, why have you broken down our walls
so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?

The boar out of the woods uproots it,
And the wild beast of the field devours it.

The wild boar from the forest devours it,
and the wild animals feed on it.

Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts;
Look down from heaven and see,
And visit this vine

Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies.
Look down from heaven and see our plight.
Take care of this grapevine

And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted,
And the branch that You made strong for Yourself.

that you yourself have planted,
this son you have raised for yourself.

It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies.
May they perish at the sight of your frown.

Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.

Strengthen the man you love,
the son of your choice.

Then we will not turn back from You;
Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

Then we will never abandon you again.
Revive us so we can call on your name once more.

Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

Turn us again to yourself, O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.
