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

1Shepherd of Israel, listen! The one who leads Joseph like a flock, the one enthroned on the cherubim, display your glory.

2to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Show us your mighty power. Come to rescue us!

2Reveal your power before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, then come to our rescue.

3Turn us again to yourself, O God. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.

3God, restore us, show your favor and deliver us.

4O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, how long will you be angry with our prayers?

4LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, when will your smoldering anger toward your people's prayers cease?

5You have fed us with sorrow and made us drink tears by the bucketful.

5You fed them tears as their food, and caused them to drink a full measure of tears.

6You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations. Our enemies treat us as a joke.

6You have set us at strife against our neighbors and our enemies deride us.

7Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.

7God of the Heavenly Armies, restore us and show your favor, so we may be delivered.

8You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine; you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.

8You uprooted a vine from Egypt, and drove out nations to transplant it.

9You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land.

9You cleared the ground so that its roots grew and filled the land.

10Our shade covered the mountains; our branches covered the mighty cedars.

10Mountains were covered by its shadows, and the mighty cedars by its branches.

11We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea; our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.

11Its branches spread out to the Mediterranean Sea and its shoots to the Euphrates River.

12But now, why have you broken down our walls so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?

12Why did you break down its walls so that those who pass by pluck its fruits?

13The wild boar from the forest devours it, and the wild animals feed on it.

13Wild boars of the forest gnaw at it, and creatures of the field feed on it.

14Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Look down from heaven and see our plight. Take care of this grapevine

14God of the Heavenly Armies, return! Look down from heaven and see. Show care toward this vine.

15that you yourself have planted, this son you have raised for yourself.

15The root that your right hand planted, the shoot that you tended for yourself,

16For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies. May they perish at the sight of your frown.

16was burned with fire, cut off, and destroyed on account of your rebuke.

17Strengthen the man you love, the son of your choice.

17May you support the man at your right hand; the son of man whom you have raised for yourself.

18Then we will never abandon you again. Revive us so we can call on your name once more.

18Then we will not turn away from you. Restore us, so we can call upon your name.

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.

19God of hosts, restore to us the light of your favor. Then we'll be delivered.
