1For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the wine-presses.
1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2Rejoice ye in God our helper; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
3Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
3Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.
4O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.
5Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6He made it [to be] a testimony in Joseph, when he came forth out of the land of Egypt: he heard a language which he understood not.
6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.
7Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8Thou didst call upon me in trouble, and I delivered thee; I heard thee in the secret place of the storm: I proved thee at the water of Strife. Pause.
8Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel; and I will testify to thee: if thou wilt hearken to me;
9Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10there shall be no new god in thee; neither shalt thou worship a strange god.
10The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11For I am the Lord thy God, that brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12But my people hearkened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.
12Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.
13The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14If my people had hearkened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
14Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
15And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16The Lord's enemies [should have] lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.
16It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
