⁴ O ^(H)Yahweh God of hosts,
^(I)How long will You ^[c]smolder against the prayer of Your people?
⁵ You have fed them with the ^(J)bread of tears,
And You have made them to drink tears in ^[d]large measure.
⁶ You set us as ^[e]an object of strife ^(K)to our neighbors,
And our enemies mock us among themselves.
⁷ O God of hosts, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, that we might be saved.

⁸ You removed a ^(L)vine from Egypt;
You ^(M)drove out the ^[f]nations and then You ^(N)planted it.
⁹ You ^(O)cleared the ground before it,
And it ^(P)took deep root and filled the land.
¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shadow,
And ^[g]the cedars of God with its ^(Q)boughs.
¹¹ It sent out its branches ^(R)to the sea
And its shoots to the River.
¹² Why have You ^(S)broken down its ^[h]hedges,
So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
¹³ A boar from the forest ^(T)devours it
And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

¹⁴ O God of hosts, ^(U)return now, we beseech You;
^(V)Look down from heaven and see, and visit this vine,
¹⁵ Even the ^[i](W)sapling which Your right hand has planted,
And on the ^[j]son whom You have ^[k]strengthened for Yourself.
¹⁶ It is ^(X)burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the ^(Y)rebuke of Your face.
¹⁷ Let ^(Z)Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You ^(AA)made strong for Yourself.
¹⁸ Then we shall not ^(AB)turn back from You;
^(AC)Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
¹⁹ O Yahweh God of hosts, ^(AD)restore us;
Cause Your face to shine upon us, that we might be saved.
