1Please listen, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph’s descendants like a flock. O God, enthroned above the cherubim, display your radiant glory1For the music director; according to the shushan-eduth style; a psalm of Asaph. O shepherd of Israel, pay attention, you who lead Joseph like a flock of sheep! You who sit enthroned above the winged angels, reveal your splendor!
2to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Show us your mighty power. Come to rescue us!2In the sight of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh reveal your power! Come and deliver us!
3Turn us again to yourself, O God. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.3O God, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!
4O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, how long will you be angry with our prayers?4O LORD God, invincible warrior! How long will you remain angry at your people while they pray to you?
5You have fed us with sorrow and made us drink tears by the bucketful.5You have given them tears as food; you have made them drink tears by the measure.
6You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations. Our enemies treat us as a joke.6You have made our neighbors dislike us, and our enemies insult us.
7Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.7O God, invincible warrior, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!
8You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine; you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.8You uprooted a vine from Egypt; you drove out nations and transplanted it.
9You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land.9You cleared the ground for it; it took root, and filled the land.
10Our shade covered the mountains; our branches covered the mighty cedars.10The mountains were covered by its shadow, the highest cedars by its branches.
11We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea; our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.11Its branches reached the Mediterranean Sea, and its shoots the Euphrates River.
12But now, why have you broken down our walls so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?12Why did you break down its walls, so that all who pass by pluck its fruit?
13The wild boar from the forest devours it, and the wild animals feed on it.13The wild boars of the forest ruin it; the insects of the field feed on it.
14Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Look down from heaven and see our plight. Take care of this grapevine14O God, invincible warrior, come back! Look down from heaven and take notice! Take care of this vine,
15that you yourself have planted, this son you have raised for yourself.15the root your right hand planted, the shoot you made to grow!
16For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies. May they perish at the sight of your frown.16It is burned and cut down. They die because you are displeased with them.
17Strengthen the man you love, the son of your choice.17May you give support to the one you have chosen, to the one whom you raised up for yourself!
18Then we will never abandon you again. Revive us so we can call on your name once more.18Then we will not turn away from you. Revive us and we will pray to you!
19Turn us again to yourself, O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.19O LORD God, invincible warrior, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!
