1. Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, You Who lead Joseph like a flock! You Who sit on Your throne above the angels, let Your light shine!
2. Stir up Your power in front of Ephraim and Benjamin and Manassah, and come to save us!
3. O God, bring us back to You. Make Your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
4. O Lord God of all, how long will You be angry with the prayers of Your people?
5. You have fed them with the bread of tears. And You have made them drink a big amount of tears.
6. You have made us an object of arguing to our neighbors. Those who hate us laugh among themselves.
7. O God of all, bring us back to You. Make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved.
8. You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and You planted it.
9. You cleared the land for it. And its roots went deep and filled the land.
10. The mountains were covered with its shadow. And the tall trees were covered with its branches.
11. It sent out its branches to the sea, and its new branches to the River.
12. Why have You broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its fruit?
13. The wild pig from among the trees eats it away. And whatever moves in the field eats from it.
14. O God of all, we beg You to return. Look down from heaven and see. Take care of this vine.
15. Take care of the root Your right hand has planted, and the branch that You have raised up for Yourself.
16. They have burned it with fire. It is cut down. May they be lost when they hear Your strong words.
17. Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, the son of man you have made strong for Yourself.
18. Then we will not turn away from You. Give us new life again, and we will call on Your name.
19. O Lord God of all, bring us back to You. Make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved.
