Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, And come to save us.
3 Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
3
Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
4 How long, LORD God Almighty, will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people?
4
O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.
5
Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.
6 You have made us an object of derision to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.
6
Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves.

8 You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.
8
Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.
9 You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
9
Thou preparedst [room] before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.
10
The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were [like] cedars of God.
11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,its shoots as far as the River.
11
It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.
12 Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
12
Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?
13 Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it.
13
The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,
14
Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,
15 the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself.
15
And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.
16
It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself.
17
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18 Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
18
So shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 Restore us, LORD God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
19
Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
