1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
-
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
-
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
-
4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
-
5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
-
6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
-
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
-
8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
-
9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
-
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
-
11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
-
12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
-
13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
-
14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
-
15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
-
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
-
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
-
18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
-
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

- 1 Oh, give ear, Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!
- 2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your power And come to save us!
- 3 O God, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
- 4 O LORD God of hosts, How long will You be angry with the prayer of Your people?
- 5 You have fed them with the bread of tears, And You have made them to drink tears in large measure.
- 6 You make us an object of contention to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.
- 7 O God of hosts, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
- 8 You removed a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it.
- 9 You cleared the ground before it, And it took deep root and filled the land.
- 10 The mountains were covered with its shadow, And the cedars of God with its boughs.
- 11 It was sending out its branches to the sea And its shoots to the River.
- 12 Why have You broken down its hedges, So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
- 13 A boar from the forest eats it away And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.
- 14 O God of hosts, turn again now, we beseech You; Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
- 15 Even the shoot which Your right hand has planted, And on the son whom You have strengthened for Yourself.
- 16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
- 17 Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.
- 18 Then we shall not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
- 19 O LORD God of hosts, restore us; Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
