Psalm 80:1–2

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.
