To the chief Musician{H5329}{H8764)} upon Shoshannimeduth{H7802}, A Psalm{H4210} of Asaph{H623}. Give ear{H238}{H8685)}, O Shepherd{H7462}{H8802)} of Israel{H3478}, thou that leadest{H5090}{H8802)} Joseph{H3130} like a flock{H6629}; thou that dwellest{H3427}{H8802)} between the cherubims{H3742}, shine forth{H3313}{H8685)}.

Before{H6440} Ephraim{H669} and Benjamin{H1144} and Manasseh{H4519} stir up{H5782}{H8786)} thy strength{H1369}, and come{H3212}{H8798)} and save{H3444} us.

Turn us again{H7725}{H8685)}, O God{H430}, and cause thy face{H6440} to shine{H215}{H8685)}; and we shall be saved{H3467}{H8735)}.

O LORD{H3068} God{H430} of hosts{H6635}, how long wilt thou be angry{H6225}{H8804)} against the prayer{H8605} of thy people{H5971}?

Thou feedest{H398}{H8689)} them with the bread{H3899} of tears{H1832}; and givest them tears{H1832} to drink{H8248}{H8686)} in great measure{H7991}.

Thou makest{H7760}{H8799)} us a strife{H4066} unto our neighbours{H7934}: and our enemies{H341}{H8802)} laugh{H3932}{H8799)} among themselves.

Turn us again{H7725}{H8685)}, O God{H430} of hosts{H6635}, and cause thy face{H6440} to shine{H215}{H8685)}; and we shall be saved{H3467}{H8735)}.

Thou hast brought{H5265}{H8686)} a vine{H1612} out of Egypt{H4714}: thou hast cast out{H1644}{H8762)} the heathen{H1471}, and planted{H5193}{H8799)} it.

Thou preparedst{H6437}{H8765)} room before{H6440} it, and didst cause it to take deep{H8328} root{H8327}{H8686)}, and it filled{H4390}{H8762)} the land{H776}.

The hills{H2022} were covered{H3680}{H8795)} with the shadow{H6738} of it, and the boughs{H6057} thereof were like the goodly{H410} cedars{H730}.

She sent out{H7971}{H8762)} her boughs{H7105} unto the sea{H3220}, and her branches{H3127} unto the river{H5104}.

Why hast thou then broken down{H6555}{H8804)} her hedges{H1447}, so that all they which pass{H5674}{H8802)} by the way{H1870} do pluck{H717}{H8804)} her?

The boar{H2386} out of the wood{H3293} doth waste{H3765}{H8762)} it, and the wild beast{H2123} of the field{H7704} doth devour{H7462}{H8799)} it.

Return{H7725}{H8798)}, we beseech thee, O God{H430} of hosts{H6635}: look down{H5027}{H8685)} from heaven{H8064}, and behold{H7200}{H8798)}, and visit{H6485}{H8798)} this vine{H1612};

And the vineyard{H3657}{H3661}{H8798)} which thy right hand{H3225} hath planted{H5193}{H8804)}, and the branch{H1121} that thou madest strong{H553}{H8765)} for thyself.

It is burned{H8313}{H8803)} with fire{H784}, it is cut down{H3683}{H8803)}: they perish{H6}{H8799)} at the rebuke{H1606} of thy countenance{H6440}.

Let thy hand{H3027} be upon the man{H376} of thy right hand{H3225}, upon the son{H1121} of man{H120} whom thou madest strong{H553}{H8765)} for thyself.

So will not we go back{H5472}{H8799)} from thee: quicken{H2421}{H8762)} us, and we will call{H7121}{H8799)} upon thy name{H8034}.

Turn us again{H7725}{H8685)}, O LORD{H3068} God{H430} of hosts{H6635}, cause thy face{H6440} to shine{H215}{H8685)}; and we shall be saved{H3467}{H8735)}.
