New American Standard Bible God Implored to Rescue His People from Their Calamities. For the choir director; set to El Shoshannim; Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph. 1Oh, give ear, Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your power
3O God, restore us
4O LORD God of hosts,
5You have fed them with the bread of tears,
6You make us an object of contention to our neighbors,
7O God of hosts, restore us
8You removed a vine from Egypt;
9You cleared the ground before it,
10The mountains were covered with its shadow,
11It was sending out its branches to the sea
12Why have You broken down its hedges,
13A boar from the forest eats it away
14O God of hosts, turn again now, we beseech You;
15Even the shoot which Your right hand has planted,
16It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
17Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
18Then we shall not turn back from You;
19O LORD God of hosts, restore us; New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif. All rights reserved. For Permission to Quote Information visit http://www.lockman.org Bible Hub |
