Psalm 80:18

So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.

16It’s burned with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
17Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
18So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.
19Turn us again, LORD God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
