| | 1 | To the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Lilies.' A Testimony of Asaph. A Psalm. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth! | |
| | 2 | Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, Stir up Your strength, And come and save us! | |
| | 3 | Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved! | |
| | 4 | O LORD God of hosts, How long will You be angry Against the prayer of Your people? | |
| | 5 | You have fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in great measure. | |
| | 6 | You have made us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves. | |
| | 7 | Restore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved! | |
| | 8 | You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations, and planted it. | |
| | 9 | You prepared room for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land. | |
| | 10 | The hills were covered with its shadow, And the mighty cedars with its boughs. | |
| | 11 | She sent out her boughs to the Sea, And her branches to the River. | |
| | 12 | Why have You broken down her hedges, So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit? | |
| | 13 | The boar out of the woods uproots it, And the wild beast of the field devours it. | |
| | 14 | Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, And visit this vine | |
| | 15 | And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, And the branch that You made strong for Yourself. | |
| | 16 | It is burned with fire, it is cut down; 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 made strong for Yourself. | |
| | 18 | Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, 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! | |
