Psalm 80:1–19

¹Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,

you who lead Joseph like a flock.^q

You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,^r

shine forth ²before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.^s

Awaken^t your might;

come and save us.^u

³Restore^v us,^w O God;

make your face shine on us,

that we may be saved.^x

⁴How long,^y Lord God Almighty,

will your anger smolder^z

against the prayers of your people?

⁵You have fed them with the bread of tears;^a

you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.^b

⁶You have made us an object of derision^b to our neighbors,

and our enemies mock us.^c

⁷Restore us, God Almighty;

make your face shine on us,

that we may be saved.^d

⁸You transplanted a vine^e from Egypt;

you drove out^f the nations and planted^g it.

⁹You cleared the ground for it,

and it took root and filled the land.

¹⁰The mountains were covered with its shade,

the mighty cedars with its branches.

¹¹Its branches reached as far as the Sea,^c

its shoots as far as the River.^dh

¹²Why have you broken down its wallsⁱ

so that all who pass by pick its grapes?

¹³Boars from the forest ravage^j it,

and insects from the fields feed on it.

¹⁴Return to us, God Almighty!

Look down from heaven and see!^k

Watch over this vine,

¹⁵the root your right hand has planted,

the son^e you have raised up for yourself.

¹⁶Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;^l

at your rebuke^m your people perish.

¹⁷Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,

the son of manⁿ you have raised up for yourself.

¹⁸Then we will not turn away from you;

revive^o us, and we will call on your name.

¹⁹Restore us, Lord God Almighty;

make your face shine on us,

that we may be saved.
