Psalms 80

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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