4 O Lord God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tearsand given them tears to drink in full measure.
6 You make us an object of contention for our neighbors,and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Restore us, O God of hosts;let your face shine, that we may be saved!
8 You brought a vine out of Egypt;you drove out the nations and planted it.
9 You cleared the ground for it;it took deep root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,the mighty cedars with its branches.
