Read the chapter

1For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm by Asaph. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out. ✦ 2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us! ✦ 3Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. ✦ 4Yahweh God of Armies, How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people? ✦ 5You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure. ✦ 6You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves. ✦ 7Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. ✦ 8You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it. ✦ 9You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land. ✦ 10The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God’s cedars. ✦ 11It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots to the River. ✦ 12Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it? ✦ 13The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it. ✦ 14Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine, ✦ 15the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself. ✦ 16It’s burned with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke. ✦ 17Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself. ✦ 18So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name. ✦ 19Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 80 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
