Psalms 79:4-12

⁴Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved.

⁵O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant?

⁶How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure?

⁷Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.

⁸O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.

⁹Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast cut the Gentiles and planted it.

¹⁰Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land.

¹¹The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the cedars of God.

¹²It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river.
