1To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.3Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.4O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?5Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.7Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.8Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.9Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.10The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.11She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.12Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?13The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.14Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;15And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.16It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.18So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.19Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

(Ps 45:1; Ps 60:1; Ps 73:1)2Du Hirte Israels, höre, der du Joseph führst wie Schafe; der du thronst über den Cherubim, leuchte hervor! (2Ki 19:15; Ps 31:17; Ps 79:13; Ps 99:1; Ps 119:135; Eze 34:12; Eze 34:23)3Erwecke deine Macht vor Ephraim, Benjamin und Manasse, und komme zu unserer Rettung!

(Ps 31:17; Ps 80:20; Ps 85:5; Jer 17:14; Da 9:17)5O HERR, Gott der Heerscharen, wie lange noch raucht dein Zorn beim Gebet deines Volkes? (Ps 79:5; Ps 85:6; La 3:8; La 3:44)6Du speist sie mit Tränenbrot und tränkst sie mit einem großen Krug voll Tränen. (Ps 42:4)7Du machst uns zum Zankapfel für unsere Nachbarn, und unsere Feinde spotten untereinander. (Ps 79:4)8O Gott der Heerscharen, stelle uns wieder her; und lass dein Angesicht leuchten, so werden wir gerettet!

(Ps 44:3; Isa 5:1; Isa 27:2; Jer 2:21)10Du machtest Raum vor ihm, dass er Wurzeln schlug und das Land erfüllte; (Jos 24:12; 1Ki 4:20)11sein Schatten bedeckte die Berge und seine Ranken die Zedern Gottes; (Ps 104:16)12er streckte seine Zweige aus bis ans Meer und seine Schoße bis zum Strom. (Isa 4:2; Isa 60:21; Eze 14:7)13Warum hast du nun seine Mauer niedergerissen, dass alle ihn zerpflücken, die vorübergehen? (Isa 5:5; Na 2:3; Lu 20:16)14Der Eber aus dem Wald zerwühlt ihn, und die wilden Tiere des Feldes weiden ihn ab. (Ps 79:2)15O Gott der Heerscharen, kehre doch zurück! Blicke vom Himmel herab und sieh, und nimm dich dieses Weinstocks an (Ps 90:13; Isa 63:15; La 3:50; Da 9:18)16und des Setzlings, den deine Rechte gepflanzt, des Sohnes, den du dir großgezogen hast! (Ex 4:22; 2Sa 7:10; Ps 8:5; Jer 2:21; Mt 15:13)17Er ist mit Feuer verbrannt, er ist abgeschnitten, vor dem Schelten deines Angesichts sind sie umgekommen! (Ps 76:7; Eze 21:3)18Deine Hand sei über dem Mann deiner Rechten, Über dem Sohn des Menschen, den du dir großgezogen hast, (Ps 80:16; Ps 89:22; Da 7:13; Re 1:13)19so werden wir nicht von dir weichen. Belebe uns, so wollen wir deinen Namen anrufen! (Ps 116:13; Ps 145:18; Jer 32:40; Ro 10:13; Heb 10:39)20O HERR, Gott der Heerscharen, stelle uns wieder her! Lass dein Angesicht leuchten, so werden wir gerettet! (Ps 31:17; Ps 44:4; Ps 80:4; Ps 80:8)
For the director of music. To the tune of ‘The Lilies of the Covenant’. Of Asaph. A psalm.
1Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth2before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might; come and save us.3Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.4How long, Lord God Almighty, will your anger smoulder against the prayers of your people?5You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.6You have made us an object of derision[1] to our neighbours, and our enemies mock us.7Restore us, God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.8You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.9You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.10The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.11Its branches reached as far as the Sea,[2] its shoots as far as the River.[3]12Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes?13Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it.14Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,15the root your right hand has planted, the son[4] you have raised up for yourself.16Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.17Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself.18Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.19Restore us, Lord God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
