1 To the chief Musician * h5329 h8764 upon Shoshannimeduth * h7802, A Psalm * h4210 of Asaph * h623. Give ear * h238 h8685, O Shepherd * h7462 h8802 of Israel * h3478, thou that leadest * h5090 h8802 Joseph * h3130 like a flock * h6629; thou that dwellest * h3427 h8802 between the cherubims * h3742, shine forth * h3313 h8685. of: or, for
2 Before * h6440 Ephraim * h669 and Benjamin * h1144 and Manasseh * h4519 stir up * h5782 h8786 thy strength * h1369, and come * h3212 h8798 and save * h3444 us. come...: Heb. come for salvation to us
3 Turn us again * h7725 h8685, O God * h430, and cause thy face * h6440 to shine * h215 h8685; and we shall be saved * h3467 h8735.
4 O LORD * h3068 God * h430 of hosts * h6635, how long wilt thou be angry * h6225 h8804 against the prayer * h8605 of thy people * h5971? be...: Heb. smoke
5 Thou feedest * h398 h8689 them with the bread * h3899 of tears * h1832; and givest them tears * h1832 to drink * h8248 h8686 in great measure * h7991.
6 Thou makest * h7760 h8799 us a strife * h4066 unto our neighbours * h7934: and our enemies * h341 h8802 laugh * h3932 h8799 among themselves.
7 Turn us again * h7725 h8685, O God * h430 of hosts * h6635, and cause thy face * h6440 to shine * h215 h8685; and we shall be saved * h3467 h8735.
8 Thou hast brought * h5265 h8686 a vine * h1612 out of Egypt * h4714: thou hast cast out * h1644 h8762 the heathen * h1471, and planted * h5193 h8799 it.
9 Thou preparedst * h6437 h8765 room before * h6440 it, and didst cause it to take deep * h8328 root * h8327 h8686, and it filled * h4390 h8762 the land * h776.
10 The hills * h2022 were covered * h3680 h8795 with the shadow * h6738 of it, and the boughs * h6057 thereof were like the goodly * h410 cedars * h730. goodly...: Heb. cedars of God
11 She sent out * h7971 h8762 her boughs * h7105 unto the sea * h3220, and her branches * h3127 unto the river * h5104.
12 Why hast thou then broken down * h6555 h8804 her hedges * h1447, so that all they which pass * h5674 h8802 by the way * h1870 do pluck * h717 h8804 her?
13 The boar * h2386 out of the wood * h3293 doth waste * h3765 h8762 it, and the wild beast * h2123 of the field * h7704 doth devour * h7462 h8799 it.
14 Return * h7725 h8798, we beseech thee, O God * h430 of hosts * h6635: look down * h5027 h8685 from heaven * h8064, and behold * h7200 h8798, and visit * h6485 h8798 this vine * h1612;
15 And the vineyard * h3657 * h3661 h8798 which thy right hand * h3225 hath planted * h5193 h8804, and the branch * h1121 that thou madest strong * h553 h8765 for thyself.
16 It is burned * h8313 h8803 with fire * h784, it is cut down * h3683 h8803: they perish * h6 h8799 at the rebuke * h1606 of thy countenance * h6440.
17 Let thy hand * h3027 be upon the man * h376 of thy right hand * h3225, upon the son * h1121 of man * h120 whom thou madest strong * h553 h8765 for thyself.
18 So will not we go back * h5472 h8799 from thee: quicken * h2421 h8762 us, and we will call * h7121 h8799 upon thy name * h8034.
19 Turn us again * h7725 h8685, O LORD * h3068 God * h430 of hosts * h6635, cause thy face * h6440 to shine * h215 h8685; and we shall be saved * h3467 h8735.
