Hear Us, O Shepherd of Israel 1 2Before Ephraim, Beniamin, and Manasses: stirre vp thy strength, and come for to saue vs. 3Turne vs agayne O Lorde: shewe the light of thy countenaunce, and we shalbe saued. 4O God, Lorde of hoastes: howe long wylt thou be angry at the prayer of thy people? 5Thou feedest them with the bread of teares: and geuest them plenteously teares to drinke. 6Thou hast made vs a strife vnto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh vs to scorne. 7Turne vs agayne thou Lorde of hoastes: shewe the light of thy countenaunce, and we shalbe saued. 8Thou dydst translate a vine out of Egypt: thou didst cast out the Heathen, and planted it. 9Thou madst roome before it: thou causedst it to take roote, and it hath filled the lande. 10The hilles were couered with her shadowe: and goodly high Cedar trees with her bowes. 11She stretched out her braunches vnto the sea: and her bowes vnto the riuer. 12Why hast thou then broken downe her hedge: that all they whiche go by plucke of her grapes? 13The wylde bore out of the wood rooteth it vp: and the wylde beast of the fielde deuoureth it. 14Turne thee agayne thou God of hoastes I pray thee: loke downe from heauen, beholde and visite this vine
