| 1 | Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock! You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth |
| 2 | before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh. Stir up your might, and come to save us! |
| 3 | Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved. |
| 4 | O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers? |
| 5 | You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in full measure. |
| 6 | You make us the scorn of our neighbors; our enemies laugh among themselves. |
| 7 | Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved. |
| 8 | You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. |
| 9 | You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land. |
| 10 | The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches; |
| 11 | it sent out its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the River. |
| 12 | Why then have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit? |
| 13 | The boar from the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it. |
| 14 | Turn again, O God of hosts; look down from heaven, and see; have regard for this vine, |
| 15 | the stock that your right hand planted. |
| 16 | They have burned it with fire, they have cut it down; may they perish at the rebuke of your countenance. |
| 17 | But let your hand be upon the one at your right hand, the one whom you made strong for yourself. |
| 18 | Then we will never turn back from you; give us life, and we will call on your name. |
| 19 | Restore us, O LORD God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved. |
