| 1. | {To the chief Musician. On Shoshannim-Eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm.} |
| 2. | Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest between the cherubim, shine forth. |
| 3. | Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, and come to our deliverance. |
| 4. | O God, restore us; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. |
| 5. | Jehovah, God of hosts, how long will thine anger smoke 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 hast made us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies mock among themselves. |
| 8. | Restore us, 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 cast out the nations, and plant it: |
| 10. | Thou preparedst space before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land; |
| 11. | The mountains were covered with its shadow, and the branches thereof were like cedars of łGod; |
| 12. | It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its shoots unto the river. |
| 13. | Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it? |
| 14. | The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it. |
| 15. | O God of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down from the heavens, and behold, and visit this vine; |
| 16. | Even the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the young plant 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 hast made strong for thyself. |
| 19. | So will we not go back from thee. Revive us, and we will call upon thy name. |
| 20. | Restore us, O Jehovah, God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. |
