King James BibleNew Living Translation
1To the chief Musician upon ShoshannimEduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.1Please listen, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph’s descendants like a flock. O God, enthroned above the cherubim, display your radiant glory
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.2to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Show us your mighty power. Come to rescue us!
3Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.3Turn us again to yourself, O God. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.
4O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?4O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, how long will you be angry with our prayers?
5Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.5You have fed us with sorrow and made us drink tears by the bucketful.
6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.6You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations. Our enemies treat us as a joke.
7Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.7Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.
8Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.8You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine; you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.
9Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.9You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land.
10The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.10Our shade covered the mountains; our branches covered the mighty cedars.
11She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.11We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea; our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.
12Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?12But now, why have you broken down our walls so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?
13The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.13The wild boar from the forest devours it, and the wild animals feed on it.
14Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;14Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Look down from heaven and see our plight. Take care of this grapevine
15And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.15that you yourself have planted, this son you have raised for yourself.
16It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.16For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies. May they perish at the sight of your frown.
17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.17Strengthen the man you love, the son of your choice.
18So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.18Then we will never abandon you again. Revive us so we can call on your name once more.
19Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.19Turn us again to yourself, O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.
