Psalms 80:1 In-Context

1 Listen, Shepherd of Israel, who guides Joseph like a flock; You who sit enthroned [on] the cherubim, rise up
2 at the head of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Your power and come to save us.
3 Restore us, God; look [on us] with favor, and we will be saved.
4 Lord God of Hosts, how long will You be angry with Your people's prayers?
5 You fed them the bread of tears and gave them a full measure of tears to drink.
