² Reveal^[b] your power before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
    then come to our rescue.

³ God, restore us,
    show your favor^[c] and deliver us.

⁴ Lord God of the Heavenly Armies,
    when will your smoldering anger^[d]
        toward your people’s prayers cease?^[e]
5 You fed them tears as their food,
    and caused them to drink a full measure of tears.
⁶ You have set us at strife against our neighbors
    and our enemies deride us.

⁷ God of the Heavenly Armies, restore us
    and show your favor,^[f]
        so we may be delivered.

⁸ You uprooted a vine from Egypt,
    and drove out nations to transplant it.
⁹ You cleared the ground^[g] so that its roots grew
    and filled the land.
¹⁰ Mountains were covered by its shadows,
    and the mighty cedars by its branches.
¹¹ Its branches spread out to the Mediterranean^[h] Sea
    and its shoots to the Euphrates^[i] River.
¹² Why did you break down its walls
    so that those who pass by pluck its fruits?^[j]
13 Wild boars of the forest gnaw at it,
    and creatures of the field feed on it.

¹⁴ God of the Heavenly Armies, return!
    Look down from heaven and see.
        Show care^[k] toward this vine.
¹⁵ The root^[l] that your right hand planted,
    the shoot^[m] that you tended for yourself,
¹⁶ was burned with fire, cut off,
    and destroyed on account of your rebuke.

¹⁷ May you support the man at your right hand;
    the son of man whom you have raised for yourself.
¹⁸ Then we will not turn away from you.
    Restore us, so we can call upon your name.

¹⁹ God of hosts, restore to us the light of your favor.^[n]
    Then we’ll be delivered.
