Psalms 80:1-9 ▼

1 For the choir director. El Shoshannim. Eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm. O Shepherd of Israel, give ear, You who guide Joseph like a flock; You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!

2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your might And come to save us!

3 O God, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, that we would be saved.

4 O Yahweh God of hosts, How long will You smolder against the prayer of Your people?

5 You have fed them with the bread of tears, And You have made them to drink tears in large measure.

6 You set us as an object of strife to our neighbors, And our enemies mock us among themselves.

7 O God of hosts, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, that we might be saved.

8 You removed a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and then You planted it.

9 You cleared the ground before it, And it took deep root and filled the land.
