| 1 | Unto the end, for them that shall he changed, a testimony for Asaph, a psalm. |
| 2 | Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Thou that sittest upon the cherubims, shine forth |
| 3 | Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and come to save us. |
| 4 | Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved. |
| 5 | O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant? |
| 6 | How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure? |
| 7 | Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us. |
| 8 | O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved. |
| 9 | Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast cut the Gentiles and planted it. |
| 10 | Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land. |
| 11 | The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the cedars of God. |
| 12 | It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river. |
| 13 | Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it? |
| 14 | The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: and a singular wild beast hath devoured it. |
| 15 | Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard: |
| 16 | And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself. |
| 17 | Things set on fire and dug down shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. |
| 18 | Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself. |
| 19 | And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: and we will call upon thy name. |
| 20 | O Lord God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved. |
