Psalm 80

Qui regis Israel

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 18 verses

  1. 1

    Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock; *
    shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim.

  2. 2

    In the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, *
    stir up your strength and come to help us.

  3. 3

    Restore us, O God of hosts; *
    show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.

  4. 4

    O LORD God of hosts, *
    how long will you be angered despite the prayers of your people?

  5. 5

    You have fed them with the bread of tears; *
    you have given them bowls of tears to drink.

  6. 6

    You have made us the derision of our neighbors, *
    and our enemies laugh us to scorn.

  7. 7

    Restore us, O God of hosts; *
    show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.

  8. 8

    You have brought a vine out of Egypt; *
    you cast out the nations and planted it.

  9. 9

    You prepared the ground for it; *
    it took root and filled the land.

  10. 10

    The mountains were covered by its shadow *
    and the towering cedar trees by its boughs.

  11. 11

    You stretched out its tendrils to the Sea *
    and its branches to the River.

  12. 12

    Why have you broken down its wall, *
    so that all who pass by pluck off its grapes?

  13. 13

    The wild boar of the forest has ravaged it, *
    and the beasts of the field have grazed upon it.

  14. 14

    Turn now, O God of hosts, look down from heaven; behold and tend this vine; *
    preserve what your right hand has planted.

  15. 15

    They burn it with fire like rubbish; *
    at the rebuke of your countenance let them perish.

  16. 16

    Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, *
    the son of man you have made so strong for yourself.

  17. 17

    And so will we never turn away from you; *
    give us life, that we may call upon your Name.

  18. 18

    Restore us, O LORD God of hosts; *
    show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.
