1
To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Testimony of Asaph. A Psalm. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou who leadest Joseph like a flock! Thou who art enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth
2
before E'phraim and Benjamin and Manas'seh! Stir up thy might, and come to save us!
3
Restore us, O God; let thy face shine, that we may be saved!
4
O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry with thy people's prayers?
5
Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in full measure.
6
Thou dost make us the scorn of our neighbors; and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7
Restore us, O God of hosts; let thy face shine, that we may be saved!
