Psalm 80 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

Restore Us, O God

Psa 80:1To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Testimony. Of Asaph, a Psalm.
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph like a flock.
You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.
Psa 80:2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
stir up your might
and come to save us!
Psa 80:3Restore us,[fn] O God;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!
Psa 80:4O LORD God of hosts,
how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?
Psa 80:5You have fed them with the bread of tears
and given them tears to drink in full measure.
Psa 80:6You make us an object of contention for our neighbors,
and our enemies laugh among themselves.
Psa 80:7Restore us, O God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!
Psa 80:8You brought a vine out of Egypt;
you drove out the nations and planted it.
Psa 80:9You cleared the ground for it;
it took deep root and filled the land.
Psa 80:10The mountains were covered with its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches.
Psa 80:11It sent out its branches to the sea
and its shoots to the River.[fn]
Psa 80:12Why then have you broken down its walls,
so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
Psa 80:13The boar from the forest ravages it,
and all that move in the field feed on it.
Psa 80:14Turn again, O God of hosts!
Look down from heaven, and see;
have regard for this vine,
Psa 80:15the stock that your right hand planted,
and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.
Psa 80:16They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down;
may they perish at the rebuke of your face!
Psa 80:17But let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!
Psa 80:18Then we shall not turn back from you;
give us life, and we will call upon your name!
Psa 80:19Restore us, O LORD God of hosts!
Let your face shine, that we may be saved!
