Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth. For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” Of Asaph. A psalm. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth

6 You made us a source of conflict to our neighbors, and our enemies made fun of us. You make us an object of contention for our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves. You have made us an object of derision to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.

8 You brought a vine from Egypt. You forced out the nations and planted it. You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.

11 It reached out with its branches to the Mediterranean Sea. Its shoots reached the Euphrates River. It sent out its branches to the sea and its shoots to the River. Its branches reached as far as the Sea, its shoots as far as the River.
12 Why did you break down the stone fences around this vine? All who pass by are picking its fruit. Why then have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit? Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 Wild boars from the forest graze on it. Wild animals devour it. The boar from the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it. Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it.
14 O God, commander of armies, come back! Look from heaven and see! Come to help this vine. Turn again, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven, and see; have regard for this vine, Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,
15 Take care of what your right hand planted, the son you strengthened for yourself. the stock that your right hand planted, and for the son whom you made strong for yourself. the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself.
16 The vine has been cut down and burned. Let them be destroyed by the threatening look on your face. They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down; may they perish at the rebuke of your face! Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.
17 Let your power rest on the man you have chosen, the son of man you strengthened for yourself. But let your hand be on the man of your right hand, the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself! Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself.
18 Then we will never turn away from you. Give us life again, and we will call on you. Then we shall not turn back from you; give us life, and we will call upon your name! Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
19 O LORD God, commander of armies, restore us, and smile on us so that we may be saved. Restore us, O LORD God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved! Restore us, LORD God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
