O God, Restore Us

For the choir director. ¹El Shoshannim. ²Eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm.

O ^aShepherd of Israel, give ear,You who guide ^bJoseph like a flock;You who ^care enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!²Before ^aEphraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, ^bstir up Your mightAnd come to save us!³O God, ^arestore usAnd ^bcause Your face to shine upon us, that we would be saved.⁴O ^aYahweh God of hosts,^bHow long will You ¹smolder against the prayer of Your people?⁵You have fed them with the ^abread of tears,And You have made them to drink tears in ¹large measure.⁶You set us as ¹an object of strife ^ato our neighbors,And our enemies mock us among themselves.⁷O God of hosts, restore usAnd cause Your face to shine upon us, that we might be saved.⁸You removed a ^avine from Egypt;You ^bdrove out the ¹nations and then You ^cplanted it.⁹You ^acleared the ground before it,And it ^btook deep root and filled the land.¹⁰The mountains were covered with its shadow,And ¹the cedars of God with its ^aboughs.¹¹It sent out its branches ^ato the seaAnd its shoots to the River.¹²Why have You ^abroken down its ¹hedges,So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?¹³A boar from the forest ^adevours itAnd whatever moves in the field feeds on it.¹⁴O God of hosts, ^areturn now, we beseech You;^bLook down from heaven and see, and visit this vine,¹⁵Even the ¹^,^asapling which Your right hand has planted,And on the ²son whom You have ³strengthened for Yourself.¹⁶It is ^aburned with fire, it is cut down;They perish at the ^brebuke of Your face.¹⁷Let ^aYour hand be upon the man of Your right hand,Upon the son of man whom You ^bmade strong for Yourself.¹⁸Then we shall not ^aturn back from You;^bRevive us, and we will call upon Your name.¹⁹O Yahweh God of hosts, ^arestore us;Cause Your face to shine upon us, that we might be saved.
