Psalm 80

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lilies of the Covenant." A Psalm by Asaph.

 ^80:1Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,
      You who lead Joseph like a flock,
      You who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.

 ^80:2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might,
      Come to save us.

 ^80:3Turn us again, God.
      Cause your face to shine,
      And we will be saved.

  ^80:4Yahweh God of hosts,
      How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

 ^80:5You have fed them with the bread of tears,
      And given them tears to drink in large measure.

 ^80:6You make us a source of contention to our neighbors.
      Our enemies laugh among themselves.

 ^80:7Turn us again, God of hosts.
      Cause your face to shine,
      And we will be saved.

 ^80:8You brought a vine out of Egypt.
      You drove out the nations, and planted it.

 ^80:9You cleared the ground for it.
      It took deep root, and filled the land.

 ^80:10The mountains were covered with its shadow.
      Its boughs were like God's cedars.

 ^80:11It sent out its branches to the sea,
      Its shoots to the River.

 ^80:12Why have you broken down its walls,
      So that all those who pass by the way pluck it?

 ^80:13The boar out of the wood ravages it.
      The wild animals of the field feed on it.

 ^80:14Turn again, we beg you, God of hosts.
      Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,

 ^80:15The stock which your right hand planted,
      The branch that you made strong for yourself.

 ^80:16It is burned with fire. It is cut down.
      They perish at your rebuke.

 ^80:17Let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
      On the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.

 ^80:18So we will not turn away from you.
      Revive us, and we will call on your name.

 ^80:19Turn us again, Yahweh God of hosts.
      Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
