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!

4  O ^pLord God of hosts,

^qhow long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?

5  You have fed them with ^rthe bread of tears

and given them tears to drink in full measure.

6  ^sYou make us an object of contention for our ^sneighbors,

and our enemies laugh among themselves.

7  ⁿRestore us, O God of hosts;

let your face shine, that we may be saved!
