1. |
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph.
|
|
2. |
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubim, shine forth.
|
|
3. |
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
|
|
4. |
Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
|
|
5. |
O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
|
|
6. |
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
|
|
7. |
Thou makest us a strife to 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 hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
|
|
10. |
Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
|
|
11. |
The hills were covered with the shade of it, and its boughs were like the goodly cedars.
|
|
12. |
She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river.
|
|
13. |
Why hast thou then broke down her hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck her?
|
|
14. |
The boar from the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
|
|
15. |
Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
|
|
16. |
And the vineyard which thy right hand planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
|
|
17. |
It is burnt 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 will we not go back from thee: revive us, and we will call upon thy name.
|
|
20. |
Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
