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.
