2Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
3before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasse, stir up thy power, and come to deliver us.
3Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
4Turn us , O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be delivered.
4Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
5O Lord God of hosts, how long art thou angry with the prayer of thy servant?
5O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
6Thou wilt feed us with bread of tears; and wilt cause us to drink tears by measure.
6Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
7Thou hast made us a strife to our neighbours; and our enemies have mocked at us.
7Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
8Turn us , O Lord God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Pause.

9Thou hast transplanted a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
10Thou madest a way before it, and didst cause its roots to strike, and the land was filled [with it].
10Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
11Its shadow covered the mountains, and its shoots [equalled] the goodly cedars.
11The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
12It sent forth its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the river.
12She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
13Wherefore hast thou broken down its hedge, while all that pass by the way pluck it?
13Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
14The boar out of the wood has laid it waste , and the wild beast has devoured it.
14The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
15O God of hosts, turn, we pray thee: look on [us] from heaven, and beholdand visit this vine;
15Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
16and restore that which thy right hand has planted: and look on the son of man whom thou didst strengthen for thyself.
16And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
17[It is] burnt with fire and dug up: they shall perish at the rebuke of thy presence.
17It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
18Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, and upon the son of man whom thou didst strengthen for thyself.
18Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
19So will we not depart from thee: thou shalt quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
20Turn us , O Lord God of hosts, and make thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
20Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
