Psalms 80:1-9 ▼

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm by Asaph. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.

2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!

3 Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

4 Yahweh God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

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

6 You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.

7 Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

8 You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.

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