Psalm 80

¹ Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,

   you who lead Joseph like a flock.

You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,

   shine forth ² before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.

Awaken your might;

   come and save us.

 ³ Restore us, O God;
   make your face shine on us,
   that we may be saved.

 ⁴ How long, LORD God Almighty,
   will your anger smolder
   against the prayers of your people?
⁵ You have fed them with the bread of tears;

   you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.

⁶ You have made us an object of derision^[b] to our neighbors,

   and our enemies mock us.

 ⁷ Restore us, God Almighty;
   make your face shine on us,
   that we may be saved.

 ⁸ You transplanted a vine from Egypt;

   you drove out the nations and planted it.

⁹ You cleared the ground for it,

   and it took root and filled the land.

¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shade,

   the mighty cedars with its branches.

¹¹ Its branches reached as far as the Sea,^[c]

   its shoots as far as the River.^[d]

 ¹² Why have you broken down its walls

   so that all who pass by pick its grapes?

¹³ Boars from the forest ravage it,

   and insects from the fields feed on it.

¹⁴ Return to us, God Almighty!
   Look down from heaven and see!

Watch over this vine,
 ¹⁵ the root your right hand has planted,

   the son^[e] you have raised up for yourself.

 ¹⁶ Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;
   at your rebuke your people perish.
¹⁷ Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
   the son of man you have raised up for yourself.
¹⁸ Then we will not turn away from you;
   revive us, and we will call on your name.

 ¹⁹ Restore us, LORD God Almighty;
   make your face shine on us,
   that we may be saved.
