1 Listen to us, O Shepherd of Israel;hear us, leader of your flock.Seated on your throne above the winged creatures,
2 reveal yourself to the tribes of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.Show us your strength;come and save us!
3 Bring us back, O God!Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!
4 How much longer, Lord God Almighty,will you be angry with your people's prayers?
5 You have given us sorrow to eat,a large cup of tears to drink.
6 You let the surrounding nations fight over our land;our enemies insult us.
7 Bring us back, Almighty God!Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!
