1
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might,
3Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
4O Yahweh God of hosts,
5Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears,
6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
8Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt:
9Thou preparedst [room] before it,
10The mountains were covered with the shadow of it,
11It sent out its branches unto the sea,
12Why hast thou broken down its walls,
13The boar out of the wood doth ravage it,
14Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts:
15And the stock which thy right hand planted,
16It is burned with fire, it is cut down:
17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand,
18So shall we not go back from thee:
19Turn us again, O Yahweh God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
