Hear us, Shepherd of Israel
You who lead Joseph like a flock
You who sit enthroned between the cherubim
Shine forth

Shine forth before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh
Awaken Your might
Come and save us
Show us Your light

Restore us, O God
Make Your face shine on us
That we may be saved
Please help us

How long, Lord God Almighty
Will Your anger smolder
Against the prayers of Your people
Young and old ones?

You have fed them with the bread of tears
You have made them drink tears by the bowlful
You have made us an object of derision to our neighbors
And our enemies mock us and feel joyful

Restore us, God Almighty
Make Your face shine on us
That we may be saved.
Please help us

You transplanted a vine from Egypt
You drove out the nations and planted it
You cleared the ground for it
And it took root and the land filled

The mountains were covered with its shade
The mighty cedars with its branches
Its branches reached as far as the Sea
Its shoots as far as the River, to the farthest edge

Why have You broken down its walls
So that all who pass by pick its grapes?
Boars from the forest ravage it
And the insects from the fields feed on it nights and days

Return to us, God Almighty!
Look down from heaven and see!
Watch over this vine
Which is now close to not to be

The vine which root Your right hand has planted
The son You have raised up for Yourself to cherish
Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire
At Your rebuke Your people perish

Let Your hand rest on the man at Your right hand
The son of man You have raised up for yourself
Then we will not turn away from You
Revive us, and we will call on Your name from our heart’s depth

Restore us, Lord God Almighty
Make Your face shine on us
That we may be saved
Please help us!
