To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.”¹ Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
You who lead Joseph like a flock;
You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!
² Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
Stir up Your strength,
And come and save us!

³ Restore us, O God;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

⁴ O LORD God of hosts,
How long will You be angry
Against the prayer of Your people?
⁵ You have fed them with the bread of tears,
And given them tears to drink in great measure.
⁶ You have made us a strife to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.

⁷ Restore us, O God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

⁸ You have brought a vine out of Egypt;
You have cast out the nations, and planted it.
⁹ You prepared room for it,
And caused it to take deep root,
And it filled the land.
¹⁰ The hills were covered with its shadow,
And the mighty cedars with its boughs.
¹¹ She sent out her boughs to the Sea,¹² Why have You broken down her hedges,
So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?
¹³ The boar out of the woods uproots it,
And the wild beast of the field devours it.

¹⁴ Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts;
Look down from heaven and see,
And visit this vine
¹⁵ And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted,
And the branch that You made strong for Yourself.
¹⁶ It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
¹⁷ Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.
¹⁸ Then we will not turn back from You;
Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

¹⁹ Restore us, O LORD God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!
