Psalm 80:7-13 “Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it. You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land. The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God’s cedars. It sent out its branches to the sea, its shoots to the River. Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it? The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.”

Prayer for the day: “God, you’ve been gracious to us before. Please be gracious to us again!” But we also have a refrain here that is a magnificent recognition of our need and God’s sovereignty: “Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.”
