New International Version NIV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth
1
To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph. -- A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs -- shine forth,
2 before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might; come and save us.
2
Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.
3 Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
3
O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
4 How long, LORD God Almighty, will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people?
4
Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.
5
Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.
6 You have made us an object of derision to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.
6
Thou makest us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies mock at it.
7 Restore us, God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
7
God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
8 You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.
8
A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.
9 You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
9
Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,
10 The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.
10
Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs [are] cedars of God.
11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,its shoots as far as the River.
11
It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.
12 Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
12
Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?
13 Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it.
13
A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,
14
God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,
15 the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself.
15
And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,
16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.
16
Burnt with fire -- cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.
17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself.
17
Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.
18 Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
18
And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.
19 Restore us, LORD God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
19
O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!
