Restore us

Psalm 80

Verses 1 – 7

Hear us, Shepard of Israel,

you who lead Joseph like a flock.

You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,

shine forth before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.

Awake your might;

come and save us.

Restore us, O God;

make you face shine on us.

that we may be saved.

How long, LORD God Almighty,

will your anger smolder

against the prayers of your people?

You have fed them with the bread of tears;

you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.

You have made us an object of derision to our

neighbors,

and our enemies mock us.

Restore us, God Almighty;

Make your face shine on us.

That we may be saved.
