| 2 Listen, O shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit enthroned between the cherubim. | |
| 3 Shine forth before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Stir up your might and come to save us. | |
| 4 Restore us, O God of hosts; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved. | |
| 5 O Lord of hosts, how long will your anger burn against the prayers of your people? | |
| 6 You have fed them with the bread of woe, and have given them tears to drink in their sorrow. | |
| 7 You have made us the scorn of our neighbors and the laughingstock of our oppressors. | |
| 8 Restore us, O God of hosts; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved. | |
| 9 You had a vine you brought from Egypt. You drove nations out, to plant it in their land. | |
| 10 On the ground that you cleared, it took root, and filled the land. | |
| 11 Its shade covered the mountains, its shoots went through the mighty cedars, | |
| 12 its branches reached out to the sea and its shoots to the River. | |
| 13 Why, then, have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pluck its fruits? | |
| 14 The beasts of the forest ravage it and all creatures of the field feed on it. | |
| 15 Turn again, O Lord of hosts, look down from heaven and see; care for this vine, | |
| 16 and protect the stock your hand has planted. | |
| 17 Let those who burned it down perish at your rebuke. | |
| 18 But lay your hand on your instrument, on the son of man whom you make strong for yourself. | |
| 19 Then we will never turn away from you; give us life, and we will call on your name. | |
| 20 Restore us, O Lord, God of hosts; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved. | |
