1. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,you who lead Joseph like a flock.You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.
2. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your mightand come to save us!
3. Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved!
4. O Lord God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?
5. You have fed them with the bread of tearsand given them tears to drink in full measure.
6. You make us an object of contention for our neighbors,and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7. Restore us, O God of hosts;let your face shine, that we may be saved!
