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