To the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Lilies.' A Testimony of Asaph. A Psalm. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!
2
Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, Stir up Your strength, And come and save us!
3
Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
4
O Lord God of hosts, How long will You be angry Against the prayer of Your people?
5
You have fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in great measure.
6
You have made us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7
Restore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
8
You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations, and planted it.
9
You prepared room for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land.
