Psalm 80:5-7
The Message
Psalm 80:5-7
The Message
4-6 God, God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
how long will you smolder like a sleeping volcano
while your people call for fire and brimstone?
You put us on a diet of tears,
bucket after bucket of salty tears to drink.
You make us look ridiculous to our friends;
our enemies poke fun day after day.
7 God-of-the-Angel-Armies, come back!
Smile your blessing smile:
That will be our salvation.
Psalm 80:5-7
New International Version
Psalm 80:5-7

5 You have fed them with the bread of tears;(A)
you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.(B)
6 You have made us an object of derision[a] to our neighbors,
and our enemies mock us.(C)
7 Restore us, God Almighty;
make your face shine on us,
that we may be saved.(D)
