A Prayer to Bring Israel Back

For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies of the Agreement.” A psalm of Asaph.

80 Shepherd of Israel, listen to us.
    You lead the people of Joseph like a flock.
You sit on your throne between the gold creatures with wings.
    Show your greatness to the people of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.
Use your strength,
    and come to save us.

God, take us back.
    Show us your kindness so we can be saved.
