¹ Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph like a flock,
you who sit above the cherubim, shine out. ² Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your might! ³ Turn us again, God.
Cause your face to shine, ⁴ LORD God of Armies,
how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people? ⁵ You have fed them with the bread of tears, ⁶ You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. ⁷ Turn us again, God of Armies.
Cause your face to shine, ⁸ You brought a vine out of Egypt. ⁹ You cleared the ground for it. ¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shadow. ¹¹ It sent out its branches to the sea, ¹² Why have you broken down its walls, ¹³ The boar out of the wood ravages it. ¹⁴ Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies.
Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine, ¹⁵ the stock which your right hand planted, ¹⁶ It’s burned with fire. ¹⁷ Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, ¹⁸ So we will not turn away from you.
Revive us, and we will call on your name. ¹⁹ Turn us again, LORD God of Armies.
