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.
2
Before
Ephraim
and
Benjamin
and
Manasseh
stir
up
thy
strength,
and
come
[and]
save
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.
8
Thou
hast
brought
a
vine
out
of
Egypt:
thou
hast
cast
out
the
heathen,
and
planted
9
Thou
preparedst
[room]
before
it,
and
didst
cause
it
to
take
deep
root,
and
it
filled
the
land.
10
The
hills
were
covered
with
the
shadow
of
it,
and
the
boughs
thereof
[were
like]
the
goodly
cedars.
11
She
sent
out
her
boughs
unto
the
sea,
and
her
branches
unto
the
river.
12
Why
hast
thou
[then]
broken
down
her
hedges,
so
that
all
they
which
pass
by
the
way
do
pluck
her?
13
The
boar
out
of
the
wood
doth
waste
it,
and
the
wild
beast
of
the
field
doth
devour
14
Return,
we
beseech
thee,
O
God
of
hosts:
look
down
from
heaven,
and
behold,
and
visit
this
vine;
15
And
the
vineyard
which
thy
right
hand
hath
planted,
and
the
branch
[that]
thou
madest
strong
for
thyself.
16
[It
is]
burned
with
fire,
[it
is]
cut
down:
they
perish
at
the
rebuke
of
thy
countenance.
17
Let
thy
hand
be
upon
the
man
of
thy
right
hand,
upon
the
son
of
man
[whom]
thou
madest
strong
for
thyself.
18
So
will
not
we
go
back
from
thee:
quicken
us,
and
we
will
call
upon
thy
name.
19
Turn
us
again,
O
LORD
God
of
hosts,
cause
thy
face
to
shine;
and
we
shall
be
saved.
