1 - To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest [between] the cherubim, 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 to our neighbors: 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 shade of it, and its boughs [were like] the goodly cedars.

11 - She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river.

12 - Why hast thou [then] broke down her hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck her?

13 - The boar from 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 planted, and the branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself.

16 - [It is] burnt 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 we not go back from thee: revive 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.
