We thank you, for your name is near

1
TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] TO “LILIES OF TESTIMONY.” A PSALM OF ASAPH. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, || Leading Joseph as a flock, || Inhabiting the cherubim—shine forth,
2
Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, || Wake up Your might, and come for our salvation.
3
O God, cause us to turn back, || And cause Your face to shine, and we are saved.
4
YHWH, God of Hosts, until when? You have burned against the prayer of Your people.
5
You have caused them to eat bread of tears, || And cause them to drink || With tears a third time.
6
You make us a strife to our neighbors, || And our enemies mock at it.
7
God of Hosts, turn us back, || And cause Your face to shine, and we are saved.
8
You bring a vine out of Egypt, || You cast out nations, and plant it.
9
You have looked before it, and root it, || And it fills the land,
10
Hills have been covered [with] its shadow, || And its boughs [are] cedars of God.
11
It sends forth its branches to the sea, || And its shoots to the river.
12
Why have You broken down its hedges, || And everyone passing by the way has plucked it?
13
A boar out of the forest tears it, || And a wild beast of the fields grazes it.
14
God of Hosts, turn back, we implore You, || Look from the heavens, and see, and inspect this vine,
15
And the root that Your right hand planted, || And the branch You made strong for Yourself,
16
Burned with fire—cut down, || They perish from the rebuke of Your face.
17
Let Your hand be on the man of Your right hand || On the son of man You have strengthened for Yourself.
18
And we do not go back from You, || You revive us, and in Your Name we call.
19
O YHWH, God of Hosts, turn us back, || Cause Your face to shine, and we are saved!
