⁷ Restore us, God of heavenly forces!
    Make your face shine so that we can be saved!

⁸ You brought a vine out of Egypt.
    You drove out the nations and planted it.
⁹ You cleared the ground for it;
    then it planted its roots deep, filling the land.
¹⁰ The mountains were covered by its shade;
    the mighty cedars were covered by its branches.
¹¹ It sent its branches all the way to the sea;
    its shoots went all the way to the Euphrates River.^[a]
12 So why have you now torn down its walls
    so that all who come along can pluck its fruit,
¹³     so that any boar from the forest can tear it up,
    so that the bugs can feed on it?

¹⁴ Please come back, God of heavenly forces!
    Look down from heaven and perceive it!
Attend to this vine,
¹⁵     this root that you planted with your strong hand,
    this son whom you secured as your very own.
