Psalms 80:1-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Shepherd of Israel, listen!You, the one who leads Joseph as if he were a sheep.You, who are enthroned upon the winged heavenly creatures.Show yourself

2. before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh!Wake up your power!Come to save us!

3. Restore us, God!Make your face shine so that we can be saved!

4. Lord God of heavenly forces,how long will you fume against your people’s prayer?

5. You’ve fed them bread made of tears;you’ve given them tears to drink three times over!

6. You’ve put us at odds with our neighbors;our enemies make fun of us.

7. Restore us, God of heavenly forces!Make your face shine so that we can be saved!

8. You brought a vine out of Egypt.You drove out the nations and planted it.

9. You cleared the ground for it;then it planted its roots deep, filling the land.

10. The mountains were covered by its shade;the mighty cedars were covered by its branches.
