Hear us O Shepherd of Israel,
You who lead Joseph like a flock;
You who sit enthroned above the cherubim [of the ark of the covenant], shine forth!

You uprooted a vine (Israel) from Egypt;
You drove out the [Canaanite] nations and planted the vine [in Canaan].

Restore us, O God;
Cause Your face to shine on us [with favor and approval], and we will be saved.

Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself.

Restore us, O God of hosts;
And cause Your face to shine on us [with favor and approval], and we will be saved.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your power
And come to save us!

O Lord God of hosts,
How long will You be angry with the prayers of Your people?

Turn again [in favor to us], O God of hosts;
Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,

Even the stock which Your right hand has planted,
And [look down on] the son that You have reared and strengthened for Yourself.

Then we shall not turn back from You;
Revive us and we will call on Your name.

You have fed them the bread of tears,
And You have made them drink [bitter] tears in abundance.

You cleared away the ground before it,
And it took deep root and filled the land.

Why have You broken down its walls and hedges,
So that all who pass by pick its fruit?

Israel sent out its branches to the [Mediterranean] Sea,
And its branches to the [Euphrates] River.

Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine on us [in favor and approval], and we shall be saved.

The mountains were covered with its shadow,
And its branches were like the cedars of God.

A boar from the woods eats it away,
And the insects of the field feed on it.

It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the rebuke of Your [angry] appearance.

You make us an object of contention to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh [at our suffering] among themselves.
