God Implored to Rescue His People from Their Calamities.
For the choir director; set to APossibly, to the LiliesEl Shoshannim; BLit A testimonyEduth. A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Oh, give ear, APs 23:1Shepherd of Israel,
You who lead BPs 77:15; 78:67; Amos 5:15Joseph like a flock;
You who CEx 25:22; 1 Sam 4:4; 2 Sam 6:2; Ps 99:1are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!
2 Before ANum 2:18-24Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, BPs 35:23stir up Your power
And come to save us!
3 O God, APs 60:1; 80:7, 19; 85:4; 126:1; Lam 5:21restore us
And BNum 6:25; Ps 4:6; 31:16cause Your face to shine upon us, 1Or that we mayand we will be saved.
 
4 O APs 59:5; 84:8Loʀᴅ God of hosts,
BPs 79:5; 85:5How long will You 1Lit smoke againstbe angry with the prayer of Your people?
5 You have fed them with the APs 42:3; 102:9; Is 30:20bread of tears,
And You have made them to drink tears in 1Lit a third part of alarge measure.
6 You make us 1Lit a strife toan object of contention APs 44:13; 79:4to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 O God of hosts, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, 1Or that we mayand we will be saved.
 
8 You removed a APs 80:15; Is 5:1, 2, 7; Jer 2:21; 12:10; Ezek 17:6; 19:10vine from Egypt;
You BJosh 13:6; 2 Chr 20:7; Ps 44:2; Acts 7:45drove out the 1Or Gentilesnations and CJer 11:17; 32:41; Ezek 17:23; Amos 9:15planted it.
9 You AEx 23:28; Josh 24:12; Is 5:2cleared the ground before it,
And it BHos 14:5took deep root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shadow,
And 1Or its boughs are like the cedars of Godthe cedars of God with its AGen 49:22boughs.
11 It was sending out its branches APs 72:8to the sea
And its shoots to the River.
12 Why have You APs 89:40; Is 5:5broken down its 1Or walls, fenceshedges,
So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
13 A boar from the forest AJer 5:6eats it away
And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.
 
14 O God of hosts, APs 90:13turn again now, we beseech You;
BPs 102:19; Is 63:15Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
15 Even the 1Or rootAPs 80:8shoot which Your right hand has planted,
And on the 2Or figuratively: branchson whom You have 3Or securedstrengthened for Yourself.
16 It is A2 Chr 36:19; Ps 74:8; Jer 52:13burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the BPs 39:11; 76:6rebuke of Your countenance.
17 Let APs 89:21Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You BPs 80:15made strong for Yourself.
18 Then we shall not AIs 50:5turn back from You;
BPs 71:20Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
19 O Loʀᴅ God of hosts, APs 80:3restore us;
Cause Your face to shine upon us, 1Or that we mayand we will be saved.
