[1] Listen, Shepherd of Israel, Who leads Joseph like a flock; You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth! [2] Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, awaken Your power, And come to save us! [3] God, restore us And make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved. [4] Lord God of armies, 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 drink tears in large measure. [6] You make us an object of contention to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves. [7] God of armies, restore us And make Your face 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 branches. [11] It was sending out its branches to the sea And its shoots to the Euphrates 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] God of armies, do turn back; Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine, [15] The shoot which Your right hand has planted, And of the son whom You have strengthened for Yourself. [16] It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish from the rebuke of Your face. [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] Lord God of armies, restore us; Make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved.
