O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.
6 Makatiita mavambo enharo kuna vatigere navo, uye vavengi vedu vanotiseka.

9 Makaukurira nzvimbo, uye ukava nemidzi ukazadza nyika.
Thou preparedst [room] before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.
10 Makomo akanga akafukidzwa nomumvuri wawo, nemisidhari mikuru namatavi awo.
The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were [like] cedars of God.

It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.
12 Seiko makaputsa masvingo awo kuti vose vanopfuura napo vanonge mazambiringa awo?
Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?

The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,
15 iwo mudzi wakasimwa noruoko rwenyu rworudyi, mwanakomana wamakazvirerera.
And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 Muzambiringa wenyu watemerwa pasi, wapiswa nomoto; pakutuka kwenyu, vanhu venyu vanofa.
It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

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

So shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.

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