2Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Thou that sittest upon the cherubims, shine forth
3Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and come to save us.
4Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved.
5O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant?
6How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure?
7Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.
