2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come [and] save us.

3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.

8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

Thou brought a vine out of Egypt. Thou drove out the nations, and planted it.

9 Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

12 Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself.

16 [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself.

18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

so shall we not go back from thee. Revive thou us, and we will call upon thy name.

19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts, cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
