Psalms

Psalm 80:3–7

³Restore us, O God,

and cause Your face to shine upon us,

that we may be saved.

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.
