80:1  For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies of the Agreement.” A psalm of Asaph. Shepherd of Israel, listen to us. You lead the people of Joseph like a flock. You sit on your throne between the gold creatures with wings. Show your greatness
80:2  to the people of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Use your strength, and come to save us.
80:3  God, take us back. Show us your kindness so we can be saved.
80:4  Lord God All-Powerful, how long will you be angry at the prayers of your people?
80:5  You have fed your people with tears; you have made them drink many tears.
80:6  You made those around us fight over us, and our enemies make fun of us.
80:7  God All-Powerful, take us back. Show us your kindness so we can be saved.
80:8  You brought us out of Egypt as if we were a vine. You forced out other nations and planted us in the land.
80:9  You cleared the ground for us. Like a vine, we took root and filled the land.
80:10  We covered the mountains with our shade. We had limbs like the mighty cedar tree.
80:11  Our branches reached the Mediterranean Sea, and our shoots went to the Euphrates River.
80:12  So why did you pull down our walls? Now everyone who passes by steals from us.
80:13  Like wild pigs they walk over us; like wild animals they feed on us.
80:14  God All-Powerful, come back. Look down from heaven and see. Take care of us, your vine.
80:15  You planted this shoot with your own hands and strengthened this child.
80:16  Now it is cut down and burned with fire; you destroyed us by your angry looks.
80:17  With your hand, strengthen the one you have chosen for yourself.
80:18  Then we will not turn away from you. Give us life again, and we will call to you for help.
80:19  Lord God All-Powerful, take us back. Show us your kindness so we can be saved.
