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

2 B efore Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, Stir up Your strength, And come and save us!

3 R estore 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 Y ou have fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in great measure.

6 Y ou have made us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.

7 R estore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!

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

9 Y ou prepared room for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land.

10 T he hills were covered with its shadow, And the mighty cedars with its boughs.

11 S he sent out her boughs to the Sea, And her branches to the River.

12 W hy have You broken down her hedges, So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?

13 T he boar out of the woods uproots it, And the wild beast of the field devours it.

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

15 A nd the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, And the branch that You made strong 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 will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

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