2. O Shepherd of Israel, lend an ear,you who guide Joseph like a flock!Seated upon the cherubim, shine forth
3. upon Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.Stir up your power, and come to save us.
4. O God, restore us;light up your face and we shall be saved.
5. Lord of hosts,how long will you smolder in angerwhile your people pray?
6. You have fed them the bread of tears,made them drink tears in great measure.
7. You have left us to be fought over by our neighbors;our enemies deride us.
