⁵ Adonai-Tzva’ot, how long will You be angry
with the prayer of Your people?
⁶ You have fed them the bread of tears
and made them drink a measure of tears.
⁷ You make us a contention to our neighbors,
and our enemies mock as they please.
⁸ Elohei-Tzva’ot, restore us, and make Your face shine,
and we will be saved.

⁹ You pulled out a vine from Egypt.
You drove out nations and planted it.
¹⁰ You cleared a place for it,
    and it took deep root and filled the land.
¹¹ The mountains were covered by its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches.
¹² It sent out its branches to the sea,
and its shoots to the river.
¹³ Why have You broken down its fences,
so all who pass by the way pick its fruit?
¹⁴ A boar from the forest ravages it,
whatever moves in the field feeds on it.
¹⁵ Elohei-Tzva’ot, please return!
Look down from heaven and see!
Now take care of this vine—
¹⁶ the shoot Your right hand planted—
the son You strengthened for Yourself.
¹⁷ It is burned with fire, it is cut down.
They perish from the rebuke of Your face.
¹⁸ Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand—
the son of man
    You made strong for Yourself.
¹⁹ Then we will not turn away from You.
Revive us, and we will call on Your Name.
²⁰ Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot, restore us.
Make Your face shine, and we will be saved.
