³ Restore^(F) us,^(G) O God;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.^(H)

⁴ How long,^(I) Lord God Almighty,
    will your anger smolder^(J)
    against the prayers of your people?
⁵ You have fed them with the bread of tears;^(K)
    you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.^(L)
6 You have made us an object of derision^[b] to our neighbors,
    and our enemies mock us.^(M)

⁷ Restore us, God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.^(N)

⁸ You transplanted a vine^(O) from Egypt;
    you drove out^(P) the nations and planted^(Q) it.
⁹ You cleared the ground for it,
    and it took root and filled the land.
¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shade,
    the mighty cedars with its branches.
¹¹ Its branches reached as far as the Sea,^[c]
    its shoots as far as the River.^[d](R)

¹² Why have you broken down its walls^(S)
    so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
¹³ Boars from the forest ravage^(T) it,
    and insects from the fields feed on it.
¹⁴ Return to us, God Almighty!
    Look down from heaven and see!^(U)
Watch over this vine,
¹⁵     the root your right hand has planted,
    the son^[e] you have raised up for yourself.

¹⁶ Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;^(V)
    at your rebuke^(W) your people perish.
¹⁷ Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
    the son of man^(X) you have raised up for yourself.
¹⁸ Then we will not turn away from you;
    revive^(Y) us, and we will call on your name.

¹⁹ Restore us, Lord God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.

³ I remembered^(F) you, God, and I groaned;^(G)
    I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.^[b](H)
4 You kept my eyes from closing;
    I was too troubled to speak.^(I)
5 I thought about the former days,^(J)
    the years of long ago;
⁶ I remembered my songs in the night.
    My heart meditated and my spirit asked:

⁷ “Will the Lord reject forever?^(K)
    Will he never show his favor^(L) again?
⁸ Has his unfailing love^(M) vanished forever?
    Has his promise^(N) failed for all time?
⁹ Has God forgotten to be merciful?^(O)
    Has he in anger withheld his compassion?^(P)”

¹⁰ Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
    the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.^(Q)
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
    yes, I will remember your miracles^(R) of long ago.
¹² I will consider^(S) all your works
    and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”^(T)

¹³ Your ways, God, are holy.
    What god is as great as our God?^(U)
14 You are the God who performs miracles;^(V)
    you display your power among the peoples.
¹⁵ With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,^(W)
    the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.

¹⁶ The waters^(X) saw you, God,
    the waters saw you and writhed;^(Y)
    the very depths were convulsed.
¹⁷ The clouds poured down water,^(Z)
    the heavens resounded with thunder;^(AA)
    your arrows^(AB) flashed back and forth.
¹⁸ Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,^(AC)
    your lightning^(AD) lit up the world;
    the earth trembled and quaked.^(AE)
19 Your path^(AF) led through the sea,^(AG)
    your way through the mighty waters,
    though your footprints were not seen.

²⁰ You led your people^(AH) like a flock^(AI)
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.^(AJ)
