Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph | like a flock;
* thou that dwellest between the | cherubims, shine forth.
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin | and Manasseh
* stir up thy | strength, and come and save us.
3 Turn us a- | -gain, O God;
* and cause thy face to shine; | and we shall be saved.
4 O LORD | God of hosts,
* how long wilt thou be angry against the | prayer of thy people?
5 Thou feedest them with the | bread of tears;
* and givest them tears to | drink in great measure.
6 Thou makest us a strife | unto• our neighbours:
* and our enemies | laugh among themselves.
7 Turn us again, O | God of hosts,
* and cause thy face to shine; | and we shall be saved.
8 Thou hast brought a vine | out of Egypt:
* thou hast cast out the | heathen,• and planted it.
9 Thou preparedst | room before it,
* and didst cause it to take deep root, | and it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with the | shadow of it,
* and the boughs thereof were | like the goodly cedars.
11 She sent out her boughs | unto• the sea,
* and her | branches •unto• the River.
12 Why hast thou then broken | down her hedges,
* so that all they which pass | by the way do pluck her?
13 The wild boar out of the | wood doth waste it,
* and the wild beast of the field | doth devour it.
14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look | down from heaven,
* and behold, and | visit this vine;
15 And the vineyard that thy right | hand hath planted,
* and the branch that thou madest | strong for thyself.
16 It is burned with fire, it | is cut down:
* they perish at the re- | -buke of thy countenance.
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy | right hand,
* upon the son of man whom thou madest | strong for thyself.
18 So will not we go | back from thee:
* quicken us, and we will | call upon thy name.
19 Turn us again, O LORD | God of hosts,
* cause thy face to shine, | and we shall be saved.
Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,
* and | to the Holy Ghost,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,
* world without | end. Amen.
