1 Listen, Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; you who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine out!
2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh, rouse your might and come to our salvation.
3 Bring us back, O God; let your face shine, and we will be saved.
4 LORD God of hosts, how long will you smoke with anger against your people's prayer?
5 You have fed them the bread of tears and given them tears to drink by the measure.
6 You make us a cause of contention to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh at us.
7 O God of hosts, bring us back; let your face shine, and we will be saved.
8 A vine you brought out of Egypt; you drove out nations and planted it.
9 You prepared room before it; it struck its roots deep and filled the land.
10 Its shade covered the mountains, and its boughs the cedars of God.
11 It stretched out its branches to the sea, and its shoots toward the River.
12 Why have you torn down its fences, so that everyone passing by picks its fruit?
13 The wild boar out of the woods tears at it, and the creatures of the field graze on it.
14 God of hosts, return, we beg you; look from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
15 the root your right hand planted, and the son you made strong for yourself.
16 It is burned with fire and cut down; at the rebuke of your face they perish.
17 May your hand rest on the man at your right hand, on the son of man you strengthened for yourself.
18 And we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call upon your name.
19 LORD God of hosts, bring us back; let your face shine, and we will be saved.
