“Return,^(A) Lord,
    to the countless thousands of Israel.^(B)”

¹⁷ Why, Lord, do you make us wander^(A) from your ways
    and harden our hearts^(B) so we do not revere^(C) you?
Return^(D) for the sake of your servants,
    the tribes that are your inheritance.^(E)

¹³ Relent, Lord! How long^(A) will it be?
    Have compassion on your servants.^(B)
14 Satisfy^(C) us in the morning with your unfailing love,^(D)
    that we may sing for joy^(E) and be glad all our days.^(F)
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
    for as many years as we have seen trouble.
¹⁶ May your deeds be shown to your servants,
    your splendor to their children.^(G)

¹⁷ May the favor^[a] of the Lord our God rest on us;
    establish the work of our hands for us—
    yes, establish the work of our hands.^(H)

“Our sister, may you increase
    to thousands upon thousands;^(B)
may your offspring possess
    the cities of their enemies.”^(C)
