ro'eh yisra'el ha'azinah noheg katson yosef yoshev hakkeruvim hofi'ah

Give ear, O shepherd of Israel who leads Joseph like a flock! Appear, You who are enthroned on the cherubim,

lifne efrayim uvinyamin umenasheh orerah et-gevuratekha ulekhah lishu'atah lanu

at the head of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh! Rouse Your might and come to our help!

elohim hashivenu veha'er panekha venivvashe'ah

Restore us, O God; show Your favor that we may be delivered.

Adonai elohim tseva'ot ad-matay ashanta bitfillat ammekha

O ETERNAL One, God of hosts, how long will You be wrathful toward the prayers of Your people?

he'ekhaltam lekhem dimah vattashqemo bidma'ot shalish

You have fed them tears as their daily bread, made them drink great measures of tears.

tesimenu madon lishkhenenu ve'oyevenu yilagu-lamo

You set us at strife with our neighbors; our enemies mock us at will.

elohim tseva'ot hashivenu veha'er panekha venivvashe'ah

O God of hosts, restore us; show Your favor that we may be delivered.

gefen mimmitsrayim tassia tegaresh goyim vattitta'eha

You plucked up a vine from Egypt; You expelled nations and planted it.

pinnita lefaneha vattashresh shorasheha vattemalle-arets

You cleared a place for it; it took deep root and filled the land.

kossu harim tsillah va'anafeha arze-el

The mountains were covered by its shade, mighty cedars by its boughs.

teshallakh qetsireha ad-yam ve'el-nahar yoneqoteha

Its branches reached the sea, its shoots, the river.

lammah paratsta gedereha ve'aruha kol-overe darekh

Why did You breach its wall so that every passerby plucks its fruit,

yekharsemennah khazir miyya'ar veziz saday yirennah

wild boars gnaw at it, and creatures of the field feed on it?

elohim tseva'ot shuv-na habbet mishamayim ure'eh ufeqod gefen zot

O God of hosts, turn again, look down from heaven and see; take note of that vine,

vekhannah asher-nate'ah yeminekha ve'al-ben immatstah lakh

the stock planted by Your right hand, the stem you have taken as Your own.

serufah va'esh kesukhah migga'arat panekha yovedu

For it is burned by fire and cut down, perishing before Your angry blast.

tehi-yadekha al-ish yeminekha al-ben-adam immatsta lakh

Grant Your help to the one at Your right hand, the mortal You have taken as Your own.

velo-nasog mimmekka tekhayyenu uveshimkha niqra

We will not turn away from You; preserve our life that we may invoke Your name.

Adonai elohim tseva'ot hashivenu ha'er panekha venivvashe'ah

O ETERNAL One, God of hosts, restore us; show Your favor that we may be delivered.
