1. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,you who lead Joseph like a flock,you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.
2. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might!Come to save us!
3. Turn us again, God.Cause your face to shine,and we will be saved.
4. Lord God of Hosts,How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
5. You have fed them with the bread of tears,and given them tears to drink in large measure.
6. You make us a source of contention to our neighbours.Our enemies laugh amongst themselves.
7. Turn us again, God of Hosts.Cause your face to shine,and we will be saved.
8. You brought a vine out of Egypt.You drove out the nations, and planted it.
9. You cleared the ground for it.It took deep root, and filled the land.
