1 Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, ♦︎
you that led Joseph like a flock;
2 Shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim, ♦︎
before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.
9 You brought a vine out of Egypt; ♦︎
you drove out the nations and planted it.
10 You made room around it, ♦︎
and when it had taken root, it filled the land.
11 The hills were covered with its shadow ♦︎
and the cedars of God by its boughs.
12 It stretched out its branches to the Sea ♦︎
and its tendrils to the River.
13 Why then have you broken down its wall, ♦︎
so that all who pass by pluck off its grapes?
14 The wild boar out of the wood tears it off, ♦︎
and all the insects of the field devour it.
15 Turn again, O God of hosts, ♦︎
look down from heaven and behold;
16 Cherish this vine which your right hand has planted, ♦︎
and the branch that you made so strong for yourself.
17 Let those who burnt it with fire, who cut it down, ♦︎
perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
18 Let your hand be upon the man at your right hand, ♦︎
the son of man you made so strong for yourself.
19 And so will we not go back from you; ♦︎
give us life, and we shall call upon your name.
20 Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts; ♦︎
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.
