Psalms 80:1-9 ▼

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm of Asaph. Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth

2 before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Your mighty power and come to save us.

3 Restore us, O God, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

4 O LORD God of Hosts, how long will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people?

5 You fed them with the bread of tears and made them drink the full measure of their tears.

6 You make us contend with our neighbors; our enemies mock us.

7 Restore us, O God of Hosts, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

8 You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and transplanted it.

9 You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
