1 | Unto the end. For those who will be changed. The testimony of Asaph. A Psalm. |
2 | The One who reigns over Israel: Be attentive. For you lead Joseph like a sheep. The One who sits upon the cherubim: Shine forth |
3 | in the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Awaken your power and draw near, so as to accomplish our salvation. |
4 | Convert us, O God. And reveal your face, and we will be saved. |
5 | O Lord, God of hosts, how long will you be angry over the prayer of your servant? |
6 | How long will you feed us the bread of tears, and give us to drink a full measure of tears? |
7 | You have set us as a contradiction to our neighbors. And our enemies have ridiculed us. |
8 | O God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved. |
9 | You have transferred a vineyard from Egypt. You have cast out the Gentiles, and planted it. |
10 | You were the leader of the journey in its sight. You planted its roots, and it filled the earth. |
11 | Its shadow covered the hills, and its branches covered the cedars of God. |
12 | It extended its new branches even to the sea, and its new seedlings even to the river. |
13 | So then, why have you destroyed its walls, so that all those who pass by the way gather its grapes? |
14 | The wild boar of the forest has trampled it, and a single wild beast has laid waste to it. |
15 | Turn back, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard; |
16 | and complete what your right hand has planted, and look upon the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself. |
17 | Whatever has been set on fire and dug under will perish at the rebuke of your countenance. |
18 | Let your hand be over the man on your right, and over the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself. |
19 | For we do not depart from you, and you will revive us. And we will invoke your name. |
20 | O Lord, God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved. |
