1 - To the Overseer. --`On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph. --A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs--shine forth,

2 - Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.

3 - O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

4 - Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.

5 - Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.

6 - Thou makest us a strife to our neighbours, And our enemies mock at it.

7 - God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

8 - A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.

9 - Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,

10 - Covered have been hills <FI>with<Fi> its shadow, And its boughs <FI>are<Fi> cedars of God.

11 - It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.

12 - Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?

13 - A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.

14 - God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,

15 - And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,

16 - Burnt with fire--cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.

17 - Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.

18 - And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.

19 - O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!
