psalms 80:1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. - Free Bible Online

psalms 80:1 [For the choir director; set to El Shoshannim; Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph]. Oh, give ear, Shepherd of Israel, Thou who dost lead Joseph like a flock; Thou who art enthroned [above] the cherubim, shine forth!


      Ps 80:1-19. Shoshannim--"Lilies" (see on Ps 45:1, title). Eduth--Testimony, referring to the topic as a testimony of God to His people (compare Ps 19:7). This Psalm probably relates to the captivity of the ten tribes, as the former to that of Judah. Its complaint is aggravated by the contrast of former prosperity, and the prayer for relief occurs as a refrain through the Psalm.

      1, 2. Joseph--for Ephraim (1Ch 7:20-29; Ps 78:67; Re 7:8), for Israel.
      Shepherd--(Compare Ge 49:24).
      leadest, &c.-- (Ps 77:20).
      dwellest . . . cherubim-- (Ex 25:20); the place of God's visible glory, whence He communed with the people (Heb 9:5).
      shine forth--appear (Ps 50:2; 94:1).
