Read the chapter

1Listen, Shepherd of Israel, Who leads Joseph like a flock; You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth! 2Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, awaken Your power, And come to save us! 3God, restore us And make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved. 4¶Lord God of armies, How long will You be angry with the prayer of Your people? 5You have fed them with the bread of tears, And You have made them drink tears in large measure. 6You make us an object of contention to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves. 7God of armies, restore us And make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved. 8¶You removed a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it. 9You cleared the ground before it, And it took deep root and filled the land. 10The mountains were covered with its shadow, And the cedars of God with its branches. 11It was sending out its branches to the sea And its shoots to the Euphrates River. 12Why have You broken down its hedges, So that all who pass that way pick its fruit? 13A boar from the forest eats it away, And whatever moves in the field feeds on it. 14¶God of armies, do turn back; Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine, 15The shoot which Your right hand has planted, And of the son whom You have strengthened for Yourself. 16It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish from the rebuke of Your face. 17Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself. 18Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name. 19Lord God of armies, restore us; Make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved.

Where this chapter connects

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.
