- 1. ¶ GIVE ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest upon the cherubim, shine forth.
- 2. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh show forth thy strength and come and save us.
- 3. Guide us again, O mighty God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
- 4. O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
- 5. Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.

- 8. ¶ Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; thou hast cast out the heathen and planted it.
- 9. Thou didst prepare the ground and caused it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
- 10. The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the vine-shoots thereof were upon the cedars of God.
- 11. It sent out its roots unto the sea, and its branches to the rivers.
- 12. Why hast thou then broken down its hedges, so that all they who pass by the way tread over it?

- 18. So will we not go back from thee; quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
- 19. Guide us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
