1. |
For the Chief Musician, set to Shoshanim Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.
|
|
2. |
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that sittest above the cherubim, shine forth.
|
|
3. |
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, And come to save us.
|
|
4. |
Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
|
|
5. |
O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
|
|
6. |
Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.
|
|
7. |
Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves.
|
|
8. |
Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
|
|
9. |
Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.
|
|
10. |
Thou preparedst room before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.
|
|
11. |
The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like cedars of God.
|
|
12. |
It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.
|
|
13. |
Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?
|
|
14. |
The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
|
|
15. |
Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,
|
|
16. |
And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
|
|
17. |
It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
|
|
18. |
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
|
|
19. |
So shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.
|
|
20. |
Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
