To the conductor. To Shushan-eduth. Of Asaph. A melody.1Shepherd of Israel, give ear; you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who dwell among the cherubim, shine forth.2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, rouse your might and come for our salvation.3O God, restore us and cause your face to shine, and we shall be saved.4O LORD God of Hosts, how long will you be angry with the prayer of your people?5You have fed them with the bread of tears, and you have given them tears to drink by the third measure.6You have made us an object of strife to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.7O God of Hosts, restore us and cause your face to shine, and we shall be saved.8You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.9You cleared the ground before it and caused its roots to take root, and it filled the land.10The mountains were covered with its shade, and its branches were like the cedars of God.11It sent out its foliage as far as the sea and its shoots as far as the River.12Why have you broken down its wall, so that all who pass along the way pluck it?13The boar from the forest ravages it, and the creature of the field feeds on it.14O God of Hosts, return, please; look down from heaven and see, and attend to this vine.15And attend to the shoot that your right hand planted, and to the son whom you made strong for yourself.16It is burned with fire; it is cut down at the rebuke of your face; they perish.17Let your hand rest upon the man of your right hand, upon the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.18Then we will not turn back from you; give us life, and we will call upon your name.19O LORD God of Hosts, restore us; cause your face to shine, and we shall be saved.
