Psalm 80:1-19 - Restore Us, O God

¹ For the choir director: according to “The Lilies.” A testimony of Asaph. A psalm.Listen, Shepherd of Israel,
who leads Joseph like a flock;
You who sit enthroned on the cherubim,
rise up
² before Ephraim,
Benjamin, and Manasseh.
Rally Your power and come to save us.
³ Restore us, God;
look on us with favor,
and we will be saved.

⁴ Lord God of Hosts,
how long will You be angry
with Your people’s prayers?
⁵ You fed them the bread of tears
and gave them a full measure
of tears to drink.
⁶ You make us quarrel with our neighbors;
our enemies make fun of us.
⁷ Restore us, God of Hosts;
look on us with favor, and we will be saved.

⁸ You uprooted a vine from Egypt;
You drove out the nations and planted it.
⁹ You cleared a place for it;
it took root and filled the land.
¹⁰ The mountains were covered by its shade,
and the mighty cedars with its branches.
¹¹ It sent out sprouts toward the Sea
and shoots toward the River.

¹² Why have You broken down its walls
so that all who pass by pick its fruit?
¹³ The boar from the forest tears it
and creatures of the field feed on it.
¹⁴ Return, God of Hosts.
Look down from heaven and see;
take care of this vine,
¹⁵ the root Your right hand has planted,
the shoot that You made strong for Yourself.
¹⁶ It was cut down and burned up;
they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
¹⁷ Let Your hand be with the man at Your right hand,
with the son of man
You have made strong for Yourself.
¹⁸ Then we will not turn away from You;
revive us, and we will call on Your name.
¹⁹ Restore us, Yahweh, the God of Hosts;
look on us with favor, and we will be saved.
