1To the chief Musician5329 upon Shoshannimeduth7802, A Psalm4210 of Asaph623. Give ear238, O Shepherd7462 of Israel3478, thou that leadest5090 Joseph3130 like a flock6629; thou that dwellest3427 between the cherubims3742, shine forth3313.
2Before6440 Ephraim669 and Benjamin1144 and Manasseh4519 stir up5782 thy strength1369, and come3212 and save3444 us.
3Turn us again7725, O God430, and cause thy face6440 to shine215; and we shall be saved3467.
4O LORD3068 God430 of hosts6635, how long wilt thou be angry6225 against the prayer8605 of thy people5971?
5Thou feedest398 them with the bread3899 of tears1832; and givest them tears1832 to drink8248 in great measure7991.
6Thou makest7760 us a strife4066 unto our neighbours7934: and our enemies341 laugh3932 among themselves.
7Turn us again7725, O God430 of hosts6635, and cause thy face6440 to shine215; and we shall be saved3467.
8Thou hast brought5265 a vine1612 out of Egypt4714: thou hast cast out1644 the heathen1471, and planted5193 it.
9Thou preparedst6437 room before6440 it, and didst cause it to take deep8328 root8327, and it filled4390 the land776.
10The hills2022 were covered3680 with the shadow6738 of it, and the boughs6057 thereof were like the goodly410 cedars730.
11She sent out7971 her boughs7105 unto the sea3220, and her branches3127 unto the river5104.
12Why hast thou then broken down6555 her hedges1447, so that all they which pass5674 by the way1870 do pluck717 her?
13The boar2386 out of the wood3293 doth waste3765 it, and the wild beast2123 of the field7704 doth devour7462 it.
14Return7725, we beseech thee, O God430 of hosts6635: look down5027 from heaven8064, and behold7200, and visit6485 this vine1612;
15And the vineyard3657 3661 which thy right hand3225 hath planted5193, and the branch1121 that thou madest strong553 for thyself.
16It is burned8313 with fire784, it is cut down3683: they perish6 at the rebuke1606 of thy countenance6440.
17Let thy hand3027 be upon the man376 of thy right hand3225, upon the son1121 of man120 whom thou madest strong553 for thyself.
18So will not we go back5472 from thee: quicken2421 us, and we will call7121 upon thy name8034.
19Turn us again7725, O LORD3068 God430 of hosts6635, cause thy face6440 to shine215; and we shall be saved3467.
