1Attend, O Shepherd of Israel, who guide Joseph like a flock; you who sit upon the cherubs, manifest yourself;

2before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasse, stir up your power, and come to deliver us.

3Turn us, O God, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be delivered.

4O Lord God of hosts, how long are you angry with the prayer of your servant?

5You will feed us with bread of tears; and will cause us to drink tears by measure.

6You have made us a strife to our neighbours; and our enemies have mocked at us.

7Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved. Pause.

8You have transplanted a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and planted it.

9You made a way before it, and did cause its roots to strike, and the land was filled with it.

10Its shadow covered the mountains, and its shoots equalled the ¹⁴⁷goodly cedars.

11It sent forth its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the river.

12Therefore have you broken down its hedge, while all that pass by the way pluck it?

13The boar out of the wood has laid it waste, and the wild beast has devoured it.

14O God of hosts, turn, we pray you: look on us from heaven, and behold and visit this vine;

15and restore that which your right hand has planted: and look on the son of man whom you did strengthen for yourself.

16It is burnt with fire and dug up: they shall perish at the rebuke of your ¹⁴⁸presence.

17Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, and upon the son of man whom you did strengthen for yourself.

18So will we not depart from you: you shall quicken us, and we will call upon your name.

19Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and make your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
