# Psalm 80 (New King James Version)
Prayer for Israel's Restoration

##### Chapter 80
###### 1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,  
You who lead Joseph like a flock;  
You who dwell _between_ the cherubim, shine forth!  

###### 2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,  
Stir up Your strength,  
And come _and_ save us!

###### 3 Restore us, O God;  
Cause Your face to shine,  
And we shall be saved!

###### 4 O Lord God of hosts,  
How long will You be angry  
Against the prayer of Your people?  

###### 5 You have fed them with the bread of tears,  
And given them tears to drink in great measure.  

###### 6 You have made us a strife to our neighbors,  
And our enemies laugh among themselves.

###### 7 Restore us, O God of hosts;  
Cause Your face to shine,  
And we shall be saved!

###### 8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt;  
You have cast out the nations, and planted it.  

###### 9 You prepared _room_ for it,  
And caused it to take deep root,  
And it filled the land.  

###### 10 The hills were covered with its shadow,  
And the mighty cedars with its boughs.  

###### 11 She sent out her boughs to the Sea,  
And her branches to the River.

###### 12 Why have You broken down her hedges,  
So that all who pass by the way pluck her _fruit?_  

###### 13 The boar out of the woods uproots it,  
And the wild beast of the field devours it.

###### 14 Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts;  
Look down from heaven and see,  
And visit this vine  

###### 15 And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted,  
And the branch _that_ You made strong 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 will not turn back from You;  
Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

###### 19 Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;  
Cause Your face to shine,  
And we shall be saved!
