Psalms 80:2

Prayer for Israel’s Restoration

To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A Testimony of Asaph. A Psalm.

1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
^aYou who lead Joseph ^blike a flock;
You who dwell between the cherubim, ^cshine forth!

2 Before ^aEphraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
Stir up Your strength,
And come and save us!

3 ^aRestore us, O God;
^bCause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

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