Prayer for Israel’s RestorationGive ear, O Shepherd of Israel,You who lead Joseph like a flock;You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!

‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,Are not the least among the rulers of Judah;For out of you shall come a RulerWho will shepherd My people Israel.’ ”

And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent. For He is not a man, that He should relent.”

O the Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble,Why should You be like a stranger in the land,And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?

The God of Israel said,The Rock of Israel spoke to me:‘He who rules over men must be just,Ruling in the fear of God.

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

So the Light of Israel will be for a fire,And his Holy One for a flame;It will burn and devourHis thorns and his briers in one day.

I will be like the dew to Israel;He shall grow like the lily,And lengthen his roots like Lebanon.

A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,And the glory of Your people Israel.”

The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” ’ ”
