For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that sittest [above] the cherubim, shine forth.

2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come [and] save us.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, And come to save us.

3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.

Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.

6 Thou makest us a strife to our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.

9 Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

Thou preparedst [room] before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.

10 The hills were covered with the shade of it, and its boughs [were like] the goodly cedars.

The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were [like] cedars of God.

11 She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river.

It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.

12 Why hast thou [then] broke down her hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck her?

Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?

13 The boar from the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,

15 And the vineyard which thy right hand planted, and the branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself.

And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

16 [It is] burnt with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself.

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

18 So will we not go back from thee: revive us, and we will call upon thy name.

So shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.

19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
