| 1 | {To the chief Musician. On Shoshannim-Eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm.} Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest [between] the cherubim, shine forth. |
| 2 | Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, and come to our deliverance. |
| 3 | O God, restore us; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. |
| 4 | Jehovah, God of hosts, how long will thine anger smoke against the prayer of thy people? |
| 5 | Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure: |
| 6 | Thou hast made us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies mock among themselves. |
| 7 | Restore us, O God of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. |
| 8 | Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt; thou didst cast out the nations, and plant it: |
| 9 | Thou preparedst space before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land; |
| 10 | The mountains were covered with its shadow, and the branches thereof were [like] cedars of �God; |
| 11 | It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its shoots unto the river. |
| 12 | Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it? |
| 13 | The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it. |
| 14 | O God of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down from the heavens, and behold, and visit this vine; |
| 15 | Even the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the young plant 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 hast made strong for thyself. |
| 18 | So will we not go back from thee. Revive us, and we will call upon thy name. |
| 19 | Restore us, O Jehovah, God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. |
