Psalm 80:1-7

English Standard Version

Restore Us, O God

To the choirmaster: according to ^(A)Lilies. A Testimony. Of ^(B)Asaph, a Psalm.

80 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
    you who lead ^(C)Joseph like ^(D)a flock.
You who are ^(E)enthroned upon the cherubim, ^(F)shine forth.
²    Before ^(G)Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
^(H)stir up your might
    and ^(I)come to save us!

³^(J)Restore us,^[a] O God;
^(K)let your face shine, that we may be saved!

⁴O ^(L)Lord God of hosts,
    ^(M)how long will you be angry with your people's prayers?
⁵You have fed them with ^(N)the bread of tears
    and given them tears to drink in full measure.
⁶^(O)You make us an object of contention for our ^(P)neighbors,
    and our enemies laugh among themselves.

⁷^(Q)Restore us, O God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!

English Standard Version

²³^(A)And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem to be his people, making himself a name ^(B)and doing for them^[a] great and awesome things by driving out before your people,^[b] whom ^(C)you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods? ²⁴^(D)And you established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever. And you, O Lord, became their God. ²⁵And now, O Lord God, confirm forever the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, and do as you have spoken. ²⁶And your name will be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is God over Israel,’ and the house of your servant David will be established before you. ²⁷For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. ²⁸And now, O Lord God, you are God, and ^(E)your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. ²⁹Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, ^(F)and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.”

English Standard Version

³¹^(A)He who comes from above ^(B)is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and ^(C)speaks in an earthly way. ^(D)He who comes from heaven ^(E)is above all. ³²^(F)He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, ^(G)yet no one receives his testimony. ³³Whoever receives his testimony ^(H)sets his seal to this, ^(I)that God is true. ³⁴For he whom ^(J)God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit ^(K)without measure. ³⁵^(L)The Father loves the Son and ^(M)has given all things into his hand. ³⁶^(N)Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; ^(O)whoever does not obey the Son shall not ^(P)see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
