Psalm 80:2-3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
I
2 O Shepherd of Israel, lend an ear,
you who guide Joseph like a flock!
Seated upon the cherubim, shine forth(A)
3 upon Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.
Stir up your power, and come to save us.
Psalm 80:5-7

II
5 Lord of hosts,
how long will you smolder in anger
while your people pray?(A)
6 You have fed them the bread of tears,
made them drink tears in great measure.[a](B)
7 You have left us to be fought over by our neighbors;
our enemies deride us.(C)
