'Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock! You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth' — the national lament Psalm 80 opens with a dual address to YHWH as both pastoral shepherd and enthroned cosmic king, drawing on the Ark of the Covenant's cherub-throne imagery. The name 'Shepherd of Israel' draws on the imagery of Numbers 27:17 (Moses's prayer that Israel not be 'sheep without a shepherd'), Ezekiel 34, and anticipates Jesus's self-description as the 'Good Shepherd' (John 10:11, 14). The three-part refrain of the psalm — 'Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved' (verses 3, 7, 19) — uses the Aaronic blessing of Numbers 6:25 as a liturgical structure for petitioning renewed divine favor. The psalm's lament over a devastated vineyard (verses 8–13) draws on the Exodus vine-planting traditions and anticipates Isaiah 5's vineyard allegory.
