4Yahweh, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, how long will you be angry with us, your people, when we pray to you?
5It is as though the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
6You have allowed the people-groups that surround us to fight with each other to decide which part of our land each of them will take; our enemies laugh at us.
7God, commander of the armies of heaven, cause our nation to be strong like it was before! Be kind to us in order that we may be saved!
