HEAR, O thou Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep : shew thyself also, thou that sittest upon the cherubims.
² Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses : stir up thy strength, and come, and help us.
³ Turn us again, O God : shew the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.
⁴ O Lord God of hosts : how long wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth?
⁵ Thou feedest them with the bread of tears : and givest them plenteousness of tears to drink.
⁶ Thou hast made us a very strife unto our neighbours : and our enemies laugh us to scorn.
⁷ Turn us again, thou God of hosts : shew the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.
⁸ Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt : thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
⁹ Thou madest room for it : and when it had taken root it filled the land.
¹⁰ The hills were covered with the shadow of it : and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedar-trees.
¹¹ She stretched out her branches unto the sea : and her boughs unto the river.
¹² Why hast thou then broken down her hedge : that all they that go by pluck off her grapes?
¹³ The wild boar out of the wood doth root it up : and the wild beasts of the field devour it.
¹⁴ Turn thee again, thou God of hosts, look down from heaven : behold, and visit this vine;
¹⁵ And the place of the vineyard that thy right hand hath planted : and the branch that thou madest so strong for thyself.
¹⁶ It is burnt with fire, and cut down : and they shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
¹⁷ Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand : and upon the son of man, whom thou madest so strong for thine own self.
¹⁸ And so will not we go back from thee : O let us live, and we shall call upon thy Name.
¹⁹ Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts : shew the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.
