1.    {For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lilies of the Covenant." A Psalm by Asaph.} Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.     To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim-eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm.     Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
 
2.    Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!     Give ear, O Keeper of Israel, guiding Joseph like a flock; you who have your seat on the winged ones, let your glory be seen.     Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
 
3.    Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.     Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, let your strength be awake from sleep, and come as our salvation.     Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
 
4.    Yahweh God of Armies, How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?     Take us back again, O God; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.     O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
 
5.    You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.     O Lord God of armies, how long will your wrath be burning against the rest of your people?     Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
 
6.    You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.     You have given them the bread of weeping for food; for their drink you have given them sorrow in great measure.     Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
 
7.    Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.     You make us a cause of war among our neighbours; our haters are laughing at us among themselves.     Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
 
8.    You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.     Take us back again, O God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.     Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
 
9.    You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.     You took a vine out of Egypt: driving out the nations, and planting it in their land.     Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
 
10.    The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God's cedars.     You made ready a place for it, so that it might take deep root, and it sent out its branches over all the land.     The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
 
11.    It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots to the River.     The mountains were covered with its shade, and the great trees with its branches.     She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
 
12.    Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?     It sent out its arms to the Sea, and its branches to the River.     Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
 
13.    The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.     Why are its walls broken down by your hands, so that all who go by may take its fruit?     The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
 
14.    Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,     It is uprooted by the pigs from the woods, the beasts of the field get their food from it.     Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
 
15.    the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.     Come back, O God of armies: from heaven let your eyes be turned to this vine, and give your mind to it,     And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
 
16.    It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke.     Even to the tree which was planted by your right hand, and to the branch which you made strong for yourself.     It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
 
17.    Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.     It is burned with fire; it is cut down: they are made waste by the wrath of your face.     Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
 
18.    So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.     Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.     So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
 
19.    Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.     So will we not be turned back from you; keep us in life, and we will give praise to your name.     Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
