[1] Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,    You who lead Joseph like a flock,	
You who sit above the cherubim, shine forth. [2] Before Ephraim and
Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might,    Come to save us. [3] Turn us
again, God.    Cause your face to shine,    And we will be saved. [4]
Yahweh God of hosts,	How long will you be angry against the prayer of
your people? [5] You have fed them with the bread of tears,    And given
them tears to drink in large measure. [6] You make us a source of
contention to our neighbors.	Our enemies laugh among themselves. [7]
Turn us again, God of hosts.	Cause your face to shine,    And we will be
saved. [8] You brought a vine out of Egypt.    You drove out the nations,
and planted it. [9] You cleared the ground for it.    It took deep root,
and filled the land. [10] The mountains were covered with its shadow.	
Its boughs were like God`s cedars. [11] It sent out its branches to the
sea,	Its shoots to the River. [12] Why have you broken down its walls,  
 So that all those who pass by the way pluck it? [13] The boar out of the
wood ravages it.    The wild animals of the field feed on it. [14] Turn
again, we beg you, God of hosts.    Look down from heaven, and see, and
visit this vine, [15] The stock which your right hand planted,	  The
branch that you made strong for yourself. [16] It is burned with fire. It
is cut down.	They perish at your rebuke. [17] Let your hand be on the
man of your right hand,    On the son of man whom you made strong for
yourself. [18] So we will not turn away from you.    Revive us, and we will
call on your name. [19] Turn us again, Yahweh God of hosts.    Cause your
face to shine, and we will be saved.	  Psalm 81	 For the Chief
Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph.
