[1] Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth! [2] Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, Stir up Your strength, And come and save us! [3] Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved! [4] O LORD God of hosts, How long will You be angry Against the prayer of Your people? [5] You have fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in great measure. [6] You have made us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves. [7] Restore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved! [8] You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations, and planted it. [9] You prepared room for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land. [10] The hills were covered with its shadow, And the mighty cedars with its boughs. [11] She sent out her boughs to the Sea, And her branches to the River. [12] Why have You broken down her hedges, So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit? [13] The boar out of the woods uproots it, And the wild beast of the field devours it. [14] Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, And visit this vine [15] And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, And the branch that You made strong 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 will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name. [19] Restore us, O LORD God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
