Psalm 80:1-3

The Message

80 ^1-2Listen, Shepherd, Israel’s Shepherd—
    get all your Joseph sheep together.
Throw beams of light
    from your dazzling throne
So Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh
    can see where they’re going.
Get out of bed—you’ve slept long enough!
    Come on the run before it’s too late.

³    God, come back!
    Smile your blessing smile:
    That will be our salvation.
