1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. |
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. |
3 Turn us again, O 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. |
6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. |
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
