1For the music director, according to the shushan-eduth style; a psalm of Asaph. O Shepherd of Israel, pay attention, you who lead Joseph like a flock of sheep. You who sit enthroned above the cherubim, reveal your splendor. 2In the sight of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh reveal your power. Come and deliver us.3O God, restore us. Smile on us. Then we will be delivered. 4O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, how long will you remain angry at your people while they pray to you?5You have given them tears as food; you have made them drink tears by the measure. 6You have made our neighbors dislike us and our enemies insult us.7O God of Heaven’s Armies, restore us. Smile on us. Then we will be delivered. 8You uprooted a vine from Egypt; you drove out nations and transplanted it.9You cleared the ground for it; it took root and filled the land. 10The mountains were covered by its shadow, the highest cedars by its branches. 11Its branches reached the Mediterranean Sea, and its shoots the Euphrates River.12Why did you break down its walls, so that all who pass by pluck its fruit?13The wild boars of the forest ruin it; the insects of the field feed on it.14O God of Heaven’s Armies, come back. Look down from heaven and take notice. Take care of this vine, 15the root your right hand planted, the shoot you made to grow. 16It is burned and cut down. May those who did this die because you are displeased with them.17May you give support to the one you have chosen, to the one whom you raised up for yourself.18Then we will not turn away from you. Revive us and we will pray to you. 19O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, restore us. Smile on us. Then we will be delivered.
