Oh, give ear, aShepherd of Israel, You who lead bJoseph like a flock; You who care enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!
2Before aEphraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, bstir up Your power And come to save us!
3O God, arestore us And bcause Your face to shine upon us, 1and we will be saved.
4O aLORD God of hosts, bHow long will You 1be angry with the prayer of Your people?
5You have fed them with the abread of tears, And You have made them to drink tears in 1large measure.
6You make us 1an object of contention ato our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7O God of hosts, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, 1and we will be saved.
8You removed a avine from Egypt; You bdrove out the 1nations and cplanted it.
9You acleared the ground before it, And it btook deep root and filled the land.
10The mountains were covered with its shadow, And 1the cedars of God with its aboughs.
11It was sending out its branches ato the sea And its shoots to the River.
12Why have You abroken down its 1hedges, So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
13A boar from the forest aeats it away And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.
14O God of hosts, aturn again now, we beseech You; bLook down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
15Even the 1 ashoot which Your right hand has planted, And on the 2son whom You have 3strengthened for Yourself.
16It is aburned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the brebuke of Your countenance.
17Let aYour hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You bmade strong for Yourself.
18Then we shall not aturn back from You; bRevive us, and we will call upon Your name.
19O LORD God of hosts, arestore us; Cause Your face to shine upon us, 1and we will be saved.
