Psalms 80:4-7

Restore Us, Shepherd of Israel, and Revive the Vine You Planted

The psalm moves from an opening cry to the Shepherd of Israel, through the repeated restoration refrain, into lament over divine anger and tears, then into the extended vine-from-Egypt memory, a plea for God to return to the ravaged vine, and finally a prayer for the man at God's right hand through whom revival and renewed covenant calling will come.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

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.
