Read the chapter

1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm of Asaph. Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth ✦ 2before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Your mighty power and come to save us. ✦ 3Restore us, O God, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved. ✦ 4O LORD God of Hosts, how long will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people? ✦ 5You fed them with the bread of tears and made them drink the full measure of their tears. ✦ 6You make us contend with our neighbors; our enemies mock us. ✦ 7Restore us, O God of Hosts, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved. ✦ 8You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and transplanted it. ✦ 9You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land. ✦ 10The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches. ✦ 11It sent out its branches to the Sea, and its shoots toward the River. ✦ 12Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit? ✦ 13The boar from the forest ravages it, and the creatures of the field feed upon it. ✦ 14Return, O God of Hosts, we pray! Look down from heaven and see! Attend to this vine— ✦ 15the root Your right hand has planted, the son You have raised up for Yourself. ✦ 16Your vine has been cut down and burned; they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance. ✦ 17Let Your hand be upon the man at Your right hand, on the son of man You have raised up for Yourself. ✦ 18Then we will not turn away from You; revive us, and we will call on Your name. ✦ 19Restore us, O LORD God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may 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.
