The weeping and the supplications of the sons of Israel;
Because they have perverted their way,
They have forgotten the Lord their God.
22 “Return, O faithless sons,
I will heal your faithlessness.”

For You are the Lord our God.

A tumult on the mountains.
Surely in the Lord our God
Is the salvation of Israel.
