[1] Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!

[2] Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, Stir up Your strength, And come and save us!

[3] Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!

[4] O Lord God of hosts, How long will You be angry Against the prayer of Your people?

[5] You have fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in great measure.

[6] You have made us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.

[7] Restore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!

[8] You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations, and planted it.

[9] You prepared room for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land.

[10] The hills were covered with its shadow, And the mighty cedars with its boughs.

[11] She sent out her boughs to the Sea, And her branches to the River.

[12] Why have You broken down her hedges, So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?

[13] The boar out of the woods uproots it, And the wild beast of the field devours it.

[14] Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, And visit this vine

[15] And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, And the branch that You made strong for Yourself.

[16] It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

[17] Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.

[18] Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

[19] Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
