A Reading of Psalm 80 in the LSB by Alex Hairgrove
00:00:00.000 | (silence)
00:00:02.160 | Psalm 80, oh God restore us.
00:00:08.240 | For the choir director, El Shoshanim,
00:00:11.200 | a duth of Asaph, a psalm.
00:00:13.960 | Oh shepherd of Israel, give ear.
00:00:18.560 | You who guide Joseph like a flock.
00:00:21.560 | You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth.
00:00:25.880 | Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
00:00:28.460 | stir up your might and come to save us.
00:00:32.780 | Oh God, restore us.
00:00:35.800 | And cause your face to shine upon us
00:00:38.720 | that we would be saved.
00:00:39.880 | Oh Yahweh, God of hosts,
00:00:42.960 | how long will you smolder against the prayer of your people?
00:00:46.500 | You have fed them with the bread of tears
00:00:49.760 | and you have made them to drink tears in large measure.
00:00:52.560 | You set us as an object of strife to our neighbors
00:00:57.120 | and our enemies mock us among themselves.
00:00:59.700 | Oh God of hosts, restore us.
00:01:04.960 | And cause your face to shine upon us
00:01:07.660 | that we might be saved.
00:01:09.460 | You removed a vine from Egypt.
00:01:14.320 | You drove out the nations and then you planted it.
00:01:17.080 | You cleared the ground before it
00:01:18.640 | and it took deep root and filled the land.
00:01:22.040 | The mountains were covered with its shadow.
00:01:25.880 | And the cedars of God with its boughs.
00:01:28.540 | It sent out its branches to the sea
00:01:30.280 | and it shoots to the river.
00:01:31.720 | Why have you broken down its hedges
00:01:35.420 | so that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
00:01:38.360 | A boar from the forest devours it
00:01:40.440 | and whatever moves in the field feeds on it.
00:01:43.480 | Oh God of hosts, return now, we beseech you.
00:01:47.000 | Look down from heaven and see and visit this vine.
00:01:51.060 | Even the sapling which your right hand has planted.
00:01:54.440 | And on the son whom you have strengthened for yourself.
00:01:57.200 | It is burned with fire, it is cut down.
00:02:00.820 | They perish at the rebuke of your face.
00:02:04.240 | Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand.
00:02:07.720 | Upon the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
00:02:12.240 | Then we shall not turn back from you.
00:02:14.360 | Revive us and we will call upon your name.
00:02:17.720 | Oh Yahweh, God of hosts, restore us.
00:02:22.640 | Cause your face to shine upon us that we might be saved.
00:02:27.800 | Be saved.
00:02:28.640 | (silence)
