1For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest upon the cherubim, shine forth.
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, and come to save us.
3Turn us again, O God; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
4O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7Turn us again, O God of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
