Psalms 80:4
2 before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Your mighty power and come to save us.
3 Restore us, O God, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
O LORD God of Hosts, how long will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people?
5 You fed them with the bread of tears and made them drink the full measure of their tears.
6 You make us contend with our neighbors; our enemies mock us.
