Read the chapter

1Please listen, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph’s descendants like a flock. O God, enthroned above the cherubim, display your radiant glory ✦ 2to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Show us your mighty power. Come to rescue us! ✦ 3Turn us again to yourself, O God. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved. ✦ 4O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, how long will you be angry with our prayers? ✦ 5You have fed us with sorrow and made us drink tears by the bucketful. ✦ 6You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations. Our enemies treat us as a joke. ✦ 7Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved. ✦ 8You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine; you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land. ✦ 9You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land. ✦ 10Our shade covered the mountains; our branches covered the mighty cedars. ✦ 11We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea; our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River. ✦ 12But now, why have you broken down our walls so that all who pass by may steal our fruit? ✦ 13The wild boar from the forest devours it, and the wild animals feed on it. ✦ 14Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Look down from heaven and see our plight. Take care of this grapevine ✦ 15that you yourself have planted, this son you have raised for yourself. ✦ 16For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies. May they perish at the sight of your frown. ✦ 17Strengthen the man you love, the son of your choice. ✦ 18Then we will never abandon you again. Revive us so we can call on your name once more. ✦ 19Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we 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.
