Hear Us, O Shepherd of Israel

1Unto the end. For those who will be changed. The testimony of Asaph. A Psalm. The One who reigns over Israel: Be attentive. For you lead Joseph like a sheep. The One who sits upon the cherubim: Shine forth

2in the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Awaken your power and draw near, so as to accomplish our salvation.

3Convert us, O God. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.

4O Lord, God of hosts, how long will you be angry over the prayer of your servant?

5How long will you feed us the bread of tears, and give us to drink a full measure of tears?

6You have set us as a contradiction to our neighbors. And our enemies have ridiculed us.

7O God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.

8You have transferred a vineyard from Egypt. You have cast out the Gentiles, and planted it.

9You were the leader of the journey in its sight. You planted its roots, and it filled the earth.

10Its shadow covered the hills, and its branches covered the cedars of God.

11It extended its new branches even to the sea, and its new seedlings even to the river.

12So then, why have you destroyed its walls, so that all those who pass by the way gather its grapes?

13The wild boar of the forest has trampled it, and a single wild beast has laid waste to it.

14Turn back, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard;

15and complete what your right hand has planted, and look upon the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.

16Whatever has been set on fire and dug under will perish at the rebuke of your countenance.

17Let your hand be over the man on your right, and over the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.

18For we do not depart from you, and you will revive us. And we will invoke your name.

19O Lord, God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.
