2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, And come and save us!
3Bring us back, O God! And cause thy face to shine, that we may be saved!
4O LORD, God of hosts! How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5For thou causest them to eat the bread of tears, And givest them tears to drink, in full measure.
6Thou hast made us the object of strife to our neighbors, And our enemies hold us in derision.
