^{4 Ref} Yahweh God of hosts, How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

^{5 Ref} You have fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.

^{6 Ref} You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.

^{7 Ref} Turn us again, God of hosts. Cause your face to shine, And we will be saved.

^{8 Ref} You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.

^{9 Ref} You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.

^{10 Ref} The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God's cedars.

^{11 Ref} It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots to the River.

^{12 Ref} Why have you broken down its walls, So that all those who pass by the way pluck it?

^{13 Ref} The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.

^{14 Ref} Turn again, we beg you, God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,

^{15 Ref} The stock which your right hand planted, The branch that you made strong for yourself.

^{16 Ref} It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
