^4 (H)Lord God of armies,
^(I)How long will You ^[d]be angry with the prayer of Your people?
⁵ You have fed them with the ^(J)bread of tears,
And You have made them drink tears in ^[e]large measure.
⁶ You make us ^[f]an object of contention ^(K)to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.
⁷ God of armies, restore us
And make Your face shine upon us, ^[g]and we will be saved.

⁸ You removed a ^(L)vine from Egypt;
You ^(M)drove out the ^[h]nations and ^(N)planted it.
⁹ You ^(O)cleared the ground before it,
And it ^(P)took deep root and filled the land.
¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shadow,
And ^[i]the cedars of God with its ^(Q)branches.
¹¹ It was sending out its branches ^(R)to the sea
And its shoots to the Euphrates River.
¹² Why have You ^(S)broken down its ^[j]hedges,
So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
¹³ A boar from the forest ^(T)eats it away,
And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

¹⁴ God of armies, do ^(U)turn back;
^(V)Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
¹⁵ The ^[k](W)shoot which Your right hand has planted,
And of the ^[l]son whom You have ^[m]strengthened for Yourself.
¹⁶ It is ^(X)burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish from the ^(Y)rebuke of Your face.
¹⁷ Let ^(Z)Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You ^(AA)made strong for Yourself.
¹⁸ Then we will not ^(AB)turn back from You;
^(AC)Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
¹⁹ Lord God of armies, ^(AD)restore us;
Make Your face shine upon us, ^[n]and we will be saved.
