2 How long, O Lord, wilt Thou disdain our prayer?
For Thou hast fed us with the bread of tears,
And bitter sorrow Thou hast made us share;

The nations round us mock with scornful jeers.
O God of Hosts, Thy people now restore;

We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.
3 A vine Thou broughtest forth from Egypt's land;
The nations were thrust out to give it room;
It took deep root, it spread on every hand,

The hills were covered with its shade and bloom;
Its boughs were like great cedars spreading wide;
They reached the sea, its roots the riverside.
4 Why hast Thou broken down its circling wall
That they may pluck who pass along the way?
Wild beasts from out the wood destroy it all
And feed upon Thy vine by night and day.
O God of Hosts, we pray Thee now, restore;
We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.

5 Look down, behold and visit this Thy vine

Which Thou hast planted with Thy own right hand,
The branch Thou madest strong and owned it Thine,
For it is burned with fire, no more to stand;

Thy people perish in Thy anger sore

Because Thy face now shines on them no more.

6 Olet Thy hand Thy chosen one sustain,

The son of man Thou madest strong to be;
So we shall faithful to Thy cause remain;

Revive Thou us, and we will call on Thee.
Jehovah, God of Hosts, again restore;

We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.

2 O haste, Lord, to hear us and pity our woes,
Affliction our portion, despised by our foes;
O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore,

And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.

3 A place for Thy people Thou, Lord, didst prepare,
Thy vine deeply rooted rewarded Thy care;
Its branches like cedars, majestic and free,
Spread over the mountains from river to sea.

4 Thy vineyard no longer Thy tender care knows,
Defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes;
O turn, we beseech Thee, all glory is Thine,
Look down in Thy mercy and visit Thy vine.

5 The branch of Thy planting is burned and cut down,
Brought nigh to destruction because of Thy frown;
The man of Thy right hand with wisdom endue,
The son of man strengthen Thy pleasure to do.

6 When Thou shalt revive us Thy Name we will praise,
And nevermore, turning, depart from Thy ways;

O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore,

And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.

[Selected Stanzas ]

2 Let the trumpet, far resounding,
This our festal day proclaim,
By our fathers' God appointed,

When from bondage Israel came.
3 I, thy God, removed thy burdens,
When thou calledst, set thee free,
Proved thee in the thirsty desert,
In the thunder answered thee.
4 O My people, hear My pleadings;
O that thou wouldst hearken now;
No strange worship shalt thou offer,
Nor to idols shalt thou bow.

5 I am God the Lord Who saved thee,
And from cruel bondage freed;
Open wide thy mouth of longing;
I will satisfy thy need.

6 But My people would not hearken,
Yea, they would not yield to Me;
So I left them in their blindness,
Their own counselors to be.

7 If My people would obey Me,
Gladly walking in My ways,
Soon would I, their foes subduing,
Fill their lips with songs of praise.

8 All the haters of Jehovah

Shall His clemency implore,

And the days of those that love Him
Shall endure for evermore.

9 Yea, with wheat the very finest
I their hunger will supply,
Bid the very rocks yield honey
That shall fully satisfy.
