How long,(A) Lord God Almighty,
    will your anger smolder(B)
    against the prayers of your people?
You have fed them with the bread of tears;(C)
    you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.(D)
You have made us an object of derision[a] to our neighbors,
    and our enemies mock us.(E)

Restore us, God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.(F)
