²⁹ There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.

¹ Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.

² Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!

³ Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

⁴ Yahweh God of Armies, How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

⁵ You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.

⁶ You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.

⁷ Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

⁸ You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.

⁹ You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.

¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God's cedars.

¹¹ It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots to the River.

¹² Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?

¹³ The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.

¹⁴ Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,

¹⁵ the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.

¹⁶ It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke.

¹⁷ Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.

¹⁸ So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.

¹⁹ Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph.
