2
Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, Stir up Your strength, And come and save us!
3
Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
4
O Lord God of hosts, How long will You be angry Against the prayer of Your people?
5
You have fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in great measure.
6
You have made us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7
Restore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
8
You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations, and planted it.
9
You prepared room for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land.
10
The hills were covered with its shadow, And the mighty cedars with its boughs.
11
She sent out her boughs to the Sea, And her branches to the River.
12
Why have You broken down her hedges, So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?
