Psalms 80:1-13 ▼

1 Shepherd of Israel, listen! The one who leads Joseph like a flock, the one enthroned on the cherubim, display your glory.

2 Reveal your power before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, then come to our rescue.

3 God, restore us, show your favor and deliver us.

4 LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, when will your smoldering anger toward your people's prayers cease?

5 You fed them tears as their food, and caused them to drink a full measure of tears.

6 You have set us at strife against our neighbors and our enemies deride us.

7 God of the Heavenly Armies, restore us and show your favor, so we may be delivered.

8 You uprooted a vine from Egypt, and drove out nations to transplant it.

9 You cleared the ground so that its roots grew and filled the land.

10 Mountains were covered by its shadows, and the mighty cedars by its branches.

11 Its branches spread out to the Mediterranean Sea and its shoots to the Euphrates River.

12 Why did you break down its walls so that those who pass by pluck its fruits?

13 Wild boars of the forest gnaw at it, and creatures of the field feed on it.
