Psalms 80:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 80:4

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?

5 ^aYou 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 ^aa vine out of Egypt;
^bYou have cast out the¹ 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 the¹ mighty cedars with its ^aboughs.

11 She sent out her boughs to¹ the Sea,
And her branches to¹ the River.

12 Why have You ^abroken 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;
^aLook 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 ^afor Yourself.

16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
^aThey perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

17 ^aLet 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.
