Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh - i:e., advancing at their head, as formerly thou didst advance in the pillar of cloud and of fire before Israel marching through the wilderness. In Ephraim Manasseh, and Benjamin are represented as occupying the foremost place after the ark. Therefore they are joined here.

Stir up thy strength - I which now seems to slumber ().

And come and save us - Hebrew, 'come for salvation to us.'
