¹ Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine on us [with favor and approval], and we will be saved.

² O LORD God of hosts, How long will You be angry with the prayers of Your people?

³ You have fed them the bread of tears, And You have made them drink [bitter] tears in abundance.

⁴ You make us an object of contention to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh [at our suffering] among themselves.

⁵ Restore us, O God of hosts; And cause Your face to shine on us [with favor and approval], and we will be saved.

⁶ You uprooted a vine (Israel) from Egypt; You drove out the [Canaanite] nations and planted the vine [in Canaan].

⁷ You cleared away the ground before it, And it took deep root and filled the land.

⁸ The mountains were covered with its shadow, And its branches were like the cedars of God.

⁹ Israel sent out its branches to the [Mediterranean] Sea, And its branches to the [Euphrates] River.

¹⁰ Why have You broken down its[2] walls and hedges, So that all who pass by pick its fruit?

¹¹ A boar from the woods eats it away, And the insects of the field feed on it.

¹² Turn again [in favor to us], O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,

¹³ Even the stock which Your right hand has planted, And [look down on] the son that You have reared and strengthened for Yourself.

¹⁴ It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your [angry] appearance.

¹⁵ Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself.

¹⁶ Then we shall not turn back from You; Revive us and we will call on Your name.

¹⁷ Restore us, O LORD God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine on us [in favor and approval], and we shall be saved.

¹⁸ To the Chief Musician; set to the[1] Philistine lute. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; Shout for joy to the God of Jacob (Israel).

¹⁹ Raise a song, sound the timbrel, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.

²⁰ Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, At the[2] full moon, on our feast day.

²¹ For this is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

²² He established it for a testimony in[3] Joseph When He went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard the language [of One whom] I did not know, saying,

²³ "I removed the burden from his shoulder; His hands were freed from the basket.

²⁴ "You called in [the time of] trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

²⁵ "Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you— O Israel, if you would listen to Me!

²⁶ "Let there be no strange god among you, Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

²⁷ "I am the LORD your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

²⁸ "But My people would not listen to My voice, And Israel did not [consent to] obey Me.

²⁹ "So I gave them up to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in [the path of] their own counsel.

³⁰ "Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

³¹ "Then I would quickly subdue and humble their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries;
