Hear, O thou Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph | like a flock;

* show thyself also, thou that | sittest• upon the Cherubim.

2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin, | and Manasseh,

* stir up thy | strength, and come and help us.

3 Turn us a- | -gain, O God;

* show the light of thy countenance, | and we shall be whole.

4 O LORD | God of hosts,

* how long wilt thou be angry | with thy •people• that prayeth?

5 Thou feedest them with the | bread of tears,

* and givest them plenteous- | -ness of tears to drink.

6 Thou hast made us a very strife | unto• our neighbours,

* and our enemies | laugh us to scorn.

7 Turn us again, thou | God of hosts;

* show the light of thy countenance, | and we shall be whole.

8 Thou hast brought a vine | out of Egypt;

* thou hast cast out the | heathen,• and planted it.

9 Thou madest | room for it;

* and when it had taken | root, it filled the land.

10 The hills were covered with the | shadow of it,

* and the boughs thereof were like the | goodly cedar-trees.

11 She stretched out her branches | unto• the sea,

* and her | boughs •unto• the River.

12 Why hast thou then broken | down her hedge,

* that all they that go by | pluck off her grapes?

13 The wild boar out of the wood doth | root it up,

* and the wild beasts | of the field devour it.

14 Turn thee again, thou God of hosts, look | down from heaven,

* behold, and | visit this vine;

15 And the place of the vineyard that thy right | hand hath planted,

* and the branch that thou madest so | strong for thyself.

16 It is burnt with fire, and | cut down;

* and they shall perish at the re- | -buke of thy countenance.

17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy | right hand,

* and upon the son of man, whom thou madest so strong | for thine own self.

18 And so will not we go | back from thee:

* O let us live, and we shall | call upon thy Name.

19 Turn us again, O LORD | God of hosts;

* show the light of thy countenance, | and we shall be whole.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
