| 1 | <> 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 thy strength, and come [and] save us. |
| 3 | Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
| 4 | O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? |
| 5 | Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. |
| 6 | Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. |
| 7 | Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
| 8 | Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. |
| 9 | Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. |
| 10 | The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof [were like] the goodly cedars. |
| 11 | She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. |
| 12 | 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 doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. |
| 14 | Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; |
| 15 | And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself. |
| 16 | [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. |
| 17 | Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself. |
| 18 | So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. |
| 19 | Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
