1 O h, give ear, Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!

2 B efore Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your power And come to save us!

3 O God, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

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

5 Y ou have fed them with the bread of tears, And You have made them to drink tears in large measure.

6 Y ou make us an object of contention to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.

7 O God of hosts, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

8 Y ou removed a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it.

9 Y ou cleared the ground before it, And it took deep root and filled the land.

10 T he mountains were covered with its shadow, And the cedars of God with its boughs.

11 I t was sending out its branches to the sea And its shoots to the River.

12 W hy have You broken down its hedges, So that all who pass that way pick its fruit ?

13 A boar from the forest eats it away And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

14 O God of hosts, turn again now, we beseech You; Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,

15 E ven the shoot which Your right hand has planted, And on the son whom You have strengthened for Yourself.

16 I t is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

17 L et Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.

18 T hen we shall not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

19 O Lord God of hosts, restore us; Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
