Psalm 80

For the worship leader. A song of Asaph to the tune “The Lilies.”[a]

Psalm 80 is a communal lament composed in Judah (the Southern Kingdom) after the fall of Israel (the Northern Kingdom) in 722 b.c.

1 Turn Your ear toward us, Shepherd of Israel,
    You who lead the children of Joseph like a flock.
You who sit enthroned above heaven’s winged creatures,[b]
    radiate Your light!
2 In the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
    arouse Your strength and power,
    and save us!

3 Bring us back to You, God.
    Turn the light of Your face upon us so that we will be rescued from this sea of darkness.
