Psalm 80

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ Lord God of Armies,
how long will you be angry
with your people’s prayers?^(J)
5 You fed them the bread of tears
and gave them a full measure^[a]
of tears to drink.^(K)
6 You put us at odds with our neighbors;
our enemies mock us.^(L)
7 Restore us, God of Armies;
make your face shine on us, so that we may be saved.^(M)

⁸ You dug up a vine from Egypt;
you drove out the nations and planted it.^(N)
9 You cleared a place for it;
it took root and filled the land.^(O)
10 The mountains were covered by its shade,
and the mighty cedars^[b] with its branches.^(P)
11 It sent out sprouts toward the Sea^[c]
and shoots toward the River.^[d](Q)

¹² Why have you broken down its walls
so that all who pass by pick its fruit?^(R)
13 Boars from the forest tear at it
and creatures of the field feed on it.^(S)
14 Return, God of Armies.^(T)
Look down from heaven and see;
take care of this vine,
¹⁵ the root^[e] your right hand planted,
the son^[f] that you made strong for yourself.^(U)
16 It was cut down and burned;
they^[g] perish at the rebuke of your countenance.^(V)
17 Let your hand be with the man at your right hand,
with the son of man
you have made strong for yourself.^(W)
18 Then we will not turn away from you;
revive us, and we will call on your name.^(X)
19 Restore us, Lord, God of Armies;^(Y)
make your face shine on us, so that we may be saved.^(Z)
