For the music director; according to the shushan-eduth style; 12 a psalm of Asaph.
80:1 O shepherd of Israel, pay attention,
you who lead Joseph like a flock of sheep!
You who sit enthroned above the winged angels, 13 reveal your splendor! 14
80:2 In the sight of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh reveal 15 your power!
Come and deliver us! 16
1 tn Here too the Hebrew text simply has “and the tribe of Benjamin.”
2 sn The Issacharites increased from 54,400 to 64,300.
3 sn The Zebulunites showed a slight increase from 57,400 to 60,500.
4 sn The Manassehites increased from 32,200 to 52,700.
5 sn This is a significant reduction from the first count of 40,500.
6 tc With the exception of a few manuscripts the MT has Shephupham. The spelling in the translation above is supported by Smr and the ancient versions.
7 tc The LXX has Adar. Cf. 1 Chr 8:3.
8 tc “From Ard” is not in the Hebrew text.
9 sn The Benjaminites increased from 35,400 to 45,600. The Greek version has here 35,500.
10 tn Heb “fullness.”
11 sn Psalm 80. The psalmist laments Israel’s demise and asks the Lord to show favor toward his people, as he did in earlier times.
12 tn The Hebrew expression shushan-eduth means “lily of the testimony.” It may refer to a particular music style or to a tune title. See the superscription to Ps 60.
13 sn Winged angels (Heb “cherubs”). Cherubs, as depicted in the OT, possess both human and animal (lion, ox, and eagle) characteristics (see Ezek 1:10; 10:14, 21; 41:18). They are pictured as winged creatures (Exod 25:20; 37:9; 1 Kgs 6:24-27; Ezek 10:8, 19) and serve as the very throne of God when the ark of the covenant is in view (Ps 99:1; see Num 7:89; 1 Sam 4:4; 2 Sam 6:2; 2 Kgs 19:15). The picture of the Lord seated on the cherubs suggests they might be used by him as a vehicle, a function they carry out in Ezek 1:22-28 (the “living creatures” mentioned here are identified as cherubs in Ezek 10:20). In Ps 18:10 the image of a cherub serves to personify the wind.
14 tn Heb “shine forth.”
15 tn Heb “stir up”; “arouse.”
16 tn Heb “come for our deliverance.”
