“Return, O Lord,
To the many thousands of Israel.”

¹³ Return, O Lord!
How long?
And ^(A)have compassion on Your servants.
¹⁴ Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
^(B)That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
¹⁵ Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us,
The years in which we have seen evil.
¹⁶ Let ^(C)Your work appear to Your servants,
And Your glory to their children.
^17 (D)And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
And ^(E)establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands.

“Our sister, may you become
^(A)The mother of thousands of ten thousands;
^(B)And may your descendants possess
The gates of those who hate them.”
