Psalms 80

New International Version

• 1. Hear us, O 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 upon us, that we may be saved.
• 4. O LORD God Almighty, how long 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 a source of contention to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.
• 7. Restore us, O God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may 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, and it took root and filled the land.
• 10. The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.
• 11. It sent out its boughs to the Sea, its shoots as far as the River.
• 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 the creatures of the field feed on it.
• 14. Return to us, O God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,
• 15. the root your right hand has planted, the son 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, O LORD God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
