1Giue eare, shepheard of Israel, thou that leadest Ioseph like a flocke, thou that dwellest betweene the Cherubims, shine forth.2Before Ephraim and Beniamin, and Manasseh, stirre vp thy strength: and come and saue vs.3Turne vs againe, O God: and cause thy face to shine, and we shall bee saued.4O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou bee angry against the prayer of thy people?5Thou feedest them with the bread of teares: and giuest them teares to drinke in great measure.6Thou makest vs a strife vnto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselues.7Turne vs againe, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saued.8Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.9Thou preparedst roome before it: and didst cause it to take deepe root, and it filled the land.10The hilles were couered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.11She sent out her boughs vnto the Sea: and her branches vnto the riuer.12Why hast thou then broken downe her hedges: so that all they which passe by the way, doe plucke her?13The boare out of the wood doth waste it: and the wild beast of the field doth deuoure it.14Returne, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: looke downe from heauen, and behold, and visit this vine:15And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted: and the branch that thou madest strong for thy selfe.16It is burnt with fire, it is cut downe: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.17Let thy hand be vpon the man of thy right hand: vpon the sonne of man, whom thou madest strong for thy selfe.18So will not wee goe backe from thee: quicken vs, and we will call vpon thy Name.19Turne vs againe, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine, and wee shall be saued.
