⁴ Lord God of Hosts,
how long will You be angry
with Your people’s prayers?^(H)
5 You fed them the bread of tears
and gave them a full measure^[c]
of tears to drink.^(I)
6 You make us quarrel with our neighbors;
our enemies make fun of us.^(J)
7 Restore us, God of Hosts;
look on us with favor, and we will be saved.^(K)

⁸ You uprooted a vine from Egypt;
You drove out the nations and planted it.^(L)
9 You cleared a place for it;
it took root and filled the land.^(M)
10 The mountains were covered by its shade,
and the mighty cedars^[d] with its branches.^(N)
11 It sent out sprouts toward the Sea^[e]
and shoots toward the River.^[f](O)

¹² Why have You broken down its walls
so that all who pass by pick its fruit?^(P)
13 The boar from the forest tears it
and creatures of the field feed on it.^(Q)
14 Return, God of Hosts.^(R)
Look down from heaven and see;
take care of this vine,
¹⁵ the root^[g] Your right hand has planted,
the shoot^[h] that You made strong for Yourself.^(S)
16 It was cut down and burned up;^[i]
they^[j] perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.^(T)
17 Let Your hand be with the man at Your right hand,
with the son of man
You have made strong for Yourself.^(U)
18 Then we will not turn away from You;
revive us, and we will call on Your name.^(V)
19 Restore us, Yahweh, the God of Hosts;^(W)
look on us with favor, and we will be saved.^(X)
