Lord God of Hosts,
how long will You be angry
with Your people’s prayers?

and gave them a full measure
of tears to drink.

our enemies make fun of us.
Restore us, God of Hosts;
look on us with favor, and we will be saved. You uprooted a vine from Egypt;
You drove out the nations and planted it.
You cleared a place for it;
it took root and filled the land.
The mountains were covered by its shade,
and the mighty cedars with its branches.
It sent out sprouts toward the Sea
and shoots toward the River. Why have You broken down its walls
so that all who pass by pick its fruit?
The boar from the forest tears it
and creatures of the field feed on it.
Return, God of Hosts.
Look down from heaven and see;
take care of this vine,
the root Your right hand has planted,
the shoot that You made strong for Yourself.
It was cut down and burned up;
they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
Let Your hand be with the man at Your right hand,
with the son of man
You have made strong for Yourself.

the city You have chosen,
and the temple I have built for Your name,

and the mountains quaked at Your presence.

no one has listened,

How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?

and all our righteous acts are like a polluted garment;

and made us melt because of our iniquity.
