1“For the leader of the music. Upon the Shushan-Eduth. A psalm of Asaph.” Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel! Thou who leadest Joseph like a flock, Thou who sittest between the cherubs, shine forth!
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, And come and save us!
3Bring us back, O God! And cause thy face to shine, that we may be saved!
4O LORD, God of hosts! How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5For thou causest them to eat the bread of tears, And givest them tears to drink, in full measure.
6Thou hast made us the object of strife to our neighbors, And our enemies hold us in derision.
7Bring us back, O God of hosts! And cause thy face to shine that we may be saved!
8Thou didst bring a vine out of Egypt; Thou didst expel the nations, and plant it.
