Psalm 79-80

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Psalm 79-80

1The nations, O God, have invaded Your inheritance;
they have defiled Your holy temple
and reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
2They have given the corpses of Your servants
as food to the birds of the air,
the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
3They have poured out their blood like water
all around Jerusalem,
and there is no one to bury the dead.
4We have become a reproach to our neighbors,
a scorn and derision to those around us.
5How long, O LORD?
Will You be angry forever?
Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6Pour out Your wrath on the nations
that do not acknowledge You,
on the kingdoms
that refuse to call on Your name,
7for they have devoured Jacob
and devastated his homeland.
8Do not hold past sins against us;
let Your compassion come quickly,
for we are brought low.
9Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of Your name;
deliver us and atone for our sins,
for the sake of Your name.
10Why should the nations ask,
“Where is their God?”
Before our eyes, make known among the nations
Your vengeance for the bloodshed of Your servants.
11May the groans of the captives reach You;
by the strength of Your arm preserve those condemned to death.
12Pay back into the laps of our neighbors
sevenfold the reproach they hurled at You, O Lord.
13Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture,
will thank You forever;
from generation to generation
we will declare Your praise.
1Hear 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.
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.
8You uprooted a vine from Egypt;
You drove out the nations and transplanted it.
9You cleared the ground for it,
and it took root and filled the land.
10The mountains were covered by its shade,
and the mighty cedars with its branches.
11It sent out its branches to the Sea,
and its shoots toward the River.
12Why have You broken down its walls,
so that all who pass by pick its fruit?
13The boar from the forest ravages it,
and the creatures of the field feed upon it.
14Return, O God of Hosts, we pray!
Look down from heaven and see!
Attend to this vine—
15the root Your right hand has planted,
the son You have raised up for Yourself.
16Your vine has been cut down and burned;
they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
17Let Your hand be upon the man at Your right hand,
on the son of man You have raised up for Yourself.
18Then we will not turn away from You;
revive us, and we will call on Your name.
19Restore us, O LORD God of Hosts;
cause Your face to shine upon us,
that we may be saved.
