¹ To the Chief Musician; ``Lilies, a Testimony." A Psalm of Asaph. GIVE EAR, O Shepherd of Israel, You Who lead Joseph like a flock; You Who sit enthroned upon the cherubim , shine forth ² Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Stir up Your might, and come to save us! ³ Restore us again, O God; and cause Your face to shine , and we shall be saved! ⁴ O Lord God of hosts, how long will You be angry with Your people's prayers? ⁵ You have fed them with the bread of tears, and You have given them tears to drink in large measure. ⁶ You make us a strife and scorn to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves. ⁷ Restore us again, O God of hosts; and cause Your face to shine , and we shall be saved! ⁸ You brought a vine out of Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it . ⁹ You prepared room before it, and it took deep root and it filled the land. ¹⁰ The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs of it were like the great cedars . ¹¹ sent out its boughs to the Sea and its branches to the River. ¹² Why have You broken down its hedges and walls so that all who pass by pluck from its fruit? ¹³ The boar out of the wood wastes it and the wild beast of the field feeds on it. ¹⁴ Turn again, we beseech You, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven and see, visit, and have regard for this vine! ¹⁵ the stock which Your right hand planted, and the branch (the son) that You have reared and made strong for Yourself. ¹⁶ They have burned it with fire, it is cut down; may they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance. ¹⁷ Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, upon the son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself. ¹⁸ Then will we not depart from You; revive us (give us life) and we will call upon Your name. ¹⁹ Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; cause Your face to shine , and we shall be saved!
