Psalm 80 New American Standard Bible ( NASB ) God Implored to Rescue His People from Their Calamities . For the choir director ; set to [ a ] El Shoshannim ; [ b ] Eduth . A Psalm of Asaph . 80 Oh , give ear , Shepherd of Israel , You who lead Joseph like a flock ; You who are enthroned above the cherubim , shine forth ! 2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh , stir up Your powerAnd come to save us ! 3 O God , restore usAnd cause Your face to shine upon us , [ c ] and we will be saved . 4 O Lord God of hosts , How long will You [ d ] be angry with the prayer of Your people ? 5 You have fed them with the bread of tears , And You have made them to drink tears in [ e ] large measure . 6 You make us [ f ] an object of contention to our neighbors , And our enemies laugh among themselves . 7 O God of hosts , restore usAnd cause Your face to shine upon us , [ g ] and we will be saved . 8 You removed a vine from Egypt ; You drove out the [ h ] nations and planted it . 9 You cleared the ground before it , And it took deep root and filled the land . 10 The mountains were covered with its shadow , And [ i ] the cedars of God with its boughs . 11 It was sending out its branches to the seaAnd its shoots to the River . 12 Why have You broken down its [ j ] hedges , So that all who pass that way pick its fruit ? 13 A boar from the forest eats it awayAnd whatever moves in the field feeds on it . 14 O God of hosts , turn again now , we beseech You ; Look down from heaven and see , and take care of this vine , 15 Even the [ k ] shoot which Your right hand has planted , And on the [ l ] son whom You have [ m ] strengthened for Yourself . 16 It is burned with fire , it is cut down ; They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance . 17 Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand , Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself . 18 Then we shall not turn back from You ; Revive us , and we will call upon Your name . 19 O Lord God of hosts , restore us ; Cause Your face to shine upon us , [ n ] and we will be saved .
