🔥 Psalms 80

Psalms 80 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God’s cedars.” Psalms 80 opens with these words: “Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.” The line to keep is Psalms 80:3: “Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.” Carry the word “turn” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 80:3: “Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Psalms 80? Then try this: Read “Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
