Psalm 80
Prayer for Israel’s Restoration
To the leader: on Lilies, a Covenant. Of Asaph. A Psalm.
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,

Stir up your might,
and come to save us!(B)
Psalm 80:8-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 You brought a vine out of Egypt;
you drove out the nations and planted it.(A)
9 You cleared the ground for it;
it took deep root and filled the land.(B)
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches;
11 it sent out its branches to the sea
and its shoots to the River.
12 Why then have you broken down its walls,
so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?(C)
13 The boar from the forest ravages it,
and all that move in the field feed on it.(D)
14 Turn again, O God of hosts;
look down from heaven and see;
have regard for this vine,(E)
15 the stock that your right hand planted.[a]
16 It has been burned with fire; it has been cut down;
may they perish at the rebuke of your countenance.(F)
17 But let your hand be upon the one at your right hand,
the one whom you made strong for yourself.(G)
18 Then we will never turn back from you;
give us life, and we will call on your name.(H)
19 Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved.
