Read Psalm 80:1-7
Listen to us, O Shepherd of Israel;
hear us, leader of your flock.
Seated on your throne above the winged creatures,
2reveal yourself to the tribes of Ephraim, Benjamin, and
Manasseh.
Show us your strength;
come and save us!
3Bring us back, O God!
Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!
4How much longer, Lord
God Almighty,
will you be angry with your people’s prayers?
5You have given us sorrow to eat,
a large cup of tears to drink.
6You let the surrounding nations fight over our land;
our enemies insult us.
7Bring us back, Almighty God!
Show us your mercy, and we will be saved! [1]
Think
Verse 4 and 5 express frustration - years of praying and waiting and the
Kingdom has not come.
Pray
The Psalmist closes with the prayer:
"Bring us back, Almighty God!
Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!" - Psalm 80:7
Pray this prayer for yourself, your family, your church, your
neighbourhood, your country, our world.
