| 1Shepherd of Israel, listen! The one who leads Joseph like a flock, the one enthroned on the cherubim, display your glory. | 1For the director of music. To the tune of "The Lilies of the Covenant." Of Asaph. A psalm. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth |
| 2Reveal your power before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, then come to our rescue. | 2before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might; come and save us. |
| 3God, restore us, show your favor and deliver us. | 3Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved. |
| 4LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, when will your smoldering anger toward your people's prayers cease? | 4How long, LORD God Almighty, will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people? |
| 5You fed them tears as their food, and caused them to drink a full measure of tears. | 5You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful. |
| 6You have set us at strife against our neighbors and our enemies deride us. | 6You have made us an object of derision to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us. |
| 7God of the Heavenly Armies, restore us and show your favor, so we may be delivered. | 7Restore us, God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved. |
| 8You uprooted a vine from Egypt, and drove out nations to transplant it. | 8You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. |
| 9You cleared the ground so that its roots grew and filled the land. | 9You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land. |
| 10Mountains were covered by its shadows, and the mighty cedars by its branches. | 10The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. |
| 11Its branches spread out to the Mediterranean Sea and its shoots to the Euphrates River. | 11Its branches reached as far as the Sea, its shoots as far as the River. |
| 12Why did you break down its walls so that those who pass by pluck its fruits? | 12Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes? |
| 13Wild boars of the forest gnaw at it, and creatures of the field feed on it. | 13Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it. |
| 14God of the Heavenly Armies, return! Look down from heaven and see. Show care toward this vine. | 14Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine, |
| 15The root that your right hand planted, the shoot that you tended for yourself, | 15the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself. |
| 16was burned with fire, cut off, and destroyed on account of your rebuke. | 16Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish. |
| 17May you support the man at your right hand; the son of man whom you have raised for yourself. | 17Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself. |
| 18Then we will not turn away from you. Restore us, so we can call upon your name. | 18Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name. |
| 19God of hosts, restore to us the light of your favor. Then we'll be delivered. | 19Restore us, LORD God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved. |
