Psalms - Chapter 80 | Good News Translation

  • 1. Listen to us, O Shepherd of Israel; hear us, leader of your flock. Seated on your throne above the winged creatures,
  • 2. reveal yourself to the tribes of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Show us your strength; come and save us!
  • 3. Bring us back, O God! Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!
  • 4. How much longer, LORD God Almighty, will you be angry with your people's prayers?
  • 5. You have given us sorrow to eat, a large cup of tears to drink.
  • 6. You let the surrounding nations fight over our land; our enemies insult us.
  • 7. Bring us back, Almighty God! Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!
  • 8. You brought a grapevine out of Egypt; you drove out other nations and planted it in their land.
  • 9. You cleared a place for it to grow; its roots went deep, and it spread out over the whole land.
  • 10. It covered the hills with its shade; its branches overshadowed the giant cedars.
  • 11. It extended its branches to the Mediterranean Sea and as far as the Euphrates River.
  • 12. Why did you break down the fences around it? Now anyone passing by can steal its grapes;
  • 13. wild hogs trample it down, and wild animals feed on it.
  • 14. Turn to us, Almighty God! Look down from heaven at us; come and save your people!
  • 15. Come and save this grapevine that you planted, this young vine you made grow so strong!
  • 16. Our enemies have set it on fire and cut it down; look at them in anger and destroy them!
  • 17. Preserve and protect the people you have chosen, the nation you made so strong.
  • 18. We will never turn away from you again; keep us alive, and we will praise you.
  • 19. Bring us back, LORD God Almighty. Show us your mercy, and we will be saved.
