1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest [between] the cherubim, shine forth.
1Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself.
1 Give ear, O Keeper of Israel, guiding Joseph like a flock; you who have your seat on the winged ones, let your glory be seen.
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, and come to our deliverance.
2Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, let your strength be awake from sleep, and come as our salvation.
3 OGod, restore us; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
3Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
3Take us back again, O God; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.
4 Jehovah,God of hosts, how long will thine anger smoke against the prayer of thy people?
4Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.
4O Lord God of armies, how long will your wrath be burning against the rest of your people?
5 Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure:
5For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
5You have given them the bread of weeping for food; for their drink you have given them sorrow in great measure.
6 Thou hast made us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies mock among themselves.
6He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.
6You make us a cause of war among our neighbours; our haters are laughing at us among themselves.
7 Restore us, OGod of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
7He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets.
7Take us back again, O God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.
8 Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt; thou didst cast out the nations, and plant it:
8Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
8You took a vine out of Egypt: driving out the nations, and planting it in their land.
9 Thou preparedst space before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land;
9Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,
9You made ready a place for it, so that it might take deep root, and it sent out its branches over all the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shadow, and the branches thereof were [like] cedars ofGod;
10there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
10The mountains were covered with its shade, and the great trees with its branches.
11 It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its shoots unto the river.
11For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11It sent out its arms to the Sea, and its branches to the River.
12 Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it?
12But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.
12Why are its walls broken down by your hands, so that all who go by may take its fruit?
13 The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it.
13So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.
13It is uprooted by the pigs from the woods, the beasts of the field get their food from it.
14 OGod of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down from the heavens, and behold, and visit this vine;
14If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:
14Come back, O God of armies: from heaven let your eyes be turned to this vine, and give your mind to it,
15 Even the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the young plant thou madest strong for thyself.
15I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
15Even to the tree which was planted by your right hand, and to the branch which you made strong for yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
16The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.
16It is burned with fire; it is cut down: they are made waste by the wrath of your face.
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself.
17And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock.
17Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
