Restore
us, O Lord God of hosts!
Let your face shine, that we may be saved!
Restore
us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved! O Lord God of hosts, how
long will you be angry with your people's prayers? You have fed them with the
bread of tears and given them tears to drink in full measure. You make us an
object of contention for our neighbours, and our enemies laugh among
themselves.
Restore
us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved! You brought a
vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. You cleared the
ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land. The mountains were
covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. It sent out its
branches to the sea and its shoots to the River. Why then have you broken down
its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit? The boar from
the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it.
Turn
again, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven, and see; have regard for this
vine, the stock that your right hand planted, and for the son whom you made
strong for yourself. They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down; may
they perish at the rebuke of your face! But let your hand be on the man of your
right hand, the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself! Then we
shall not turn back from you; give us life, and we will call upon your name!
Restore us, O Lord God of hosts!
Let your face shine, that we may be saved!
