In today’s Meditatio Hour, Rev. Jonathan Fisk meditates on:

1. Psalm 80:1-7

Restore Us, O God

To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Testimony. Of Asaph, a Psalm.

80 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph like a flock.
You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.
2     Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
stir up your might
and come to save us!

3 Restore us,[a] O God;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!

4 O Lord God of hosts,
how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears
and given them tears to drink in full measure.
6 You make us an object of contention for our neighbors,
and our enemies laugh among themselves.

7 Restore us, O God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!

Footnotes:

Psalm 80:3 Or Turn us again; also verses 7, 19

2. Proverbs 12:24

24 The hand of the diligent will rule,
while the slothful will be put to forced labor.
