1  Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,

you who lead ^gJoseph like ^ha flock.

You who are ⁱenthroned upon the cherubim, ^jshine forth.

2  Before ^kEphraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,

^lstir up your might

and ^mcome to save us!

3  ⁿRestore us,¹ O God;

^olet your face shine, that we may be saved!

^y“My ^zsoul ^amagnifies the Lord,

47  ^band my ^zspirit rejoices in ^cGod my Savior,

48  for ^dhe has looked on the humble estate of his servant.

For behold, from now on all generations ^ewill call me blessed;

49  for ^fhe who is mighty ^ghas done great things for me,

and ^hholy is his name.

50  And ⁱhis mercy is for those who fear him

from generation to generation.

51  ^jHe has shown strength with his arm;

^khe has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;

52  ^jhe has brought down the mighty from their thrones

^land exalted those of humble estate;

53  he has filled ^mthe hungry with good things,

and the rich ⁿhe has sent away empty.

54  He has ^ohelped ^phis servant Israel,

^qin remembrance of his mercy,

55  ^ras he spoke to our fathers,

^qto Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
