١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. عَلَى السُّوسَنِّ. أَصْغِ يَا رَاعِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَا مَنْ قُدْتَ (قَوْمَ) يُوسُفَ كَالْقَطِيعِ. تَجَلَّ يَا مَنْ بِنِعْمَتِكَ تَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِكَ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ

For the leader. On shoshannim, eduth. Of Asaph, a psalm. Listen, Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock of sheep; from your throne on the cherubs shine forth

٢ 2 اسْتَثِرْ قُوَّتَكَ الْعَظِيمَةَ أَمَامَ أَفْرَايِمَ وَبَنْيَامِينَ وَمَنَسَّى، وَتَعَالَ لإِنْقَاذِنَا.

before Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin. Stir up your mighty power, come to our help.

٣ 3 يَا اللهُ رُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ وَأَنِرْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْلُصَ.

God, restore us: show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.

٤ 4 يَا رَبُّ إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ، إِلَى مَتَى تَظَلُّ غَاضِباً عَلَى صَلاةِ شَعْبِكَ.

O Lord of hosts, how long is your anger to smoke, despite the prayer of your people?

٥ 5 لَقَدْ أَطْعَمْتَهُمْ خُبْزَ الدُّمُوعِ وَسَقَيْتَهُمْ كُؤُوساً طَافِحَةً بِالْعَبَرَاتِ

You have fed them with bread of tears, you have made them drink tears by the measure.

٦ 6 جَعَلْتَنَا مَصْدَرَ نِزَاعٍ لِجِيرَانِنَا وَمَثَارَ هُزْءٍ لأَعْدَائِنَا.

The scorn of our neighbors you make us, the laughing-stock of our foes.

٧ 7 يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ رُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنِرْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْلُصَ.

God of hosts, restore us: show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.

٨ 8 نَقَلْتَ كَرْمَةً (أَيْ الشَّعْبَ) مِنْ مِصْرَ. طَرَدْتَ أُمَماً وَغَرَسْتَهَا مَكَانَهُمْ.

A vine out of Egypt you brought; you did drive out the nations, and plant her;

٩ 9 أَوْسَعْتَ لَهَا فَتَأَصَّلَتْ جُذُورُهَا فِي الْعُمْقِ وَمَلأَتِ الأَرْضَ.

in the ground you did clear she struck root, and she filled all the land.

١٠ 10 غَطَّى الْجِبَالَ ظِلُّهَا، وَشَابَهَتْ أَغْصَانُهَا الأَرْزَ الْعَظِيمَ،

The shade of her covered the mountains, her branches the cedars of God.

١١ 11 مَدَّتْ قُضْبَانَهَا إِلَى الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ وَفُرُوعَهَا إِلَى نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ.

She sent forth her shoots to the sea, and her branches as far as the River.

١٢ 12 لِمَاذَا هَدَمْتَ سِيَاجَهَا فَيَقْطِفَهَا كُلُّ عَابِرِي الطَّرِيقِ؟

Why have you torn down her fences, and left her to be plucked at by all who pass by,

١٣ 13 يُتْلِفُهَا الْخِنْزِيرُ الطَّالِعُ مِنَ الْغَابَةِ، وَيَرْعَاهَا وَحْشُ الْبَرَارِي.

to be gnawed by the boar from the forest, and devoured by the beasts of the field?

١٤ 14 يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ ارْجِعَنَّ. تَطَلَّعْ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَانْظُرْ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْكَرْمَةِ وَتَعَهَّدْهَا بِنِعْمَتِكَ.

O God of hosts, return: look down from heaven and see and visit this vine, and restore her

١٥ 15 (تَفَقَّدْ) هَذِهِ الكَرْمَةَ الَّتِي غَرَسَتْهَا يَمِينُكَ، وَابْنَ آدَمَ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ.

the vine which your right hand has planted.

١٦ 16 لَقَدْ أَحْرَقَهَا أَعْدَاؤُنَا بِالنَّارِ. لَيْتَهُمْ مِنْ زَجْرِ طَلْعَتِكَ يَبِيدُونَ.

She is burned with fire and cut down before your stern face they are perishing.

١٧ 17 لِتَكُنْ يَدُكَ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ الْجَالِسِ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ، عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ،

Support the one you have chosen, the one you have raised for yourself;

١٨ 18 فَلَا نَرْتَدَّ عَنْكَ. أَحْيِنَا فَنَدْعُوَ بِاسْمِكَ.

then from you we will never draw back. Preserve us, and we will call on your name.

١٩ 19 يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ رُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنِرْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْلُصَ.

Lord, God of hosts, restore us: Show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.
