Prayer for Israel’s RestorationTo the Chief Musician. Set to[a]“The Lilies.” A[b]Testimony of Asaph. A Psalm.1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwellbetween the cherubim, shine forth! 2Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, Stir up Your strength, And comeand save us! 3Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved! 4OLord God of hosts, How long will You be angry Against the prayer of Your people? 5You have fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in great measure. 6You have made us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves. 7Restore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved! 8You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the[c]nations, and planted it. 9You preparedroom for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land. 10The hills were covered with its shadow, And the[d]mighty cedars with its boughs. 11She sent out her boughs to[e]the Sea, And her branches to[f]the River. 12Why have You broken down her[g]hedges, So that all who pass by the way pluck herfruit? 13The boar out of the woods uproots it, And the wild beast of the field devours it. 14Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, And visit this vine 15And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, And the branchthat You made strong for Yourself. 16It is burned with fire,it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance. 17Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of manwhom You made strong for Yourself. 18Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name. 19Restore us, OLord God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
