5 O Lord God of armies, how long will your wrath be burning against the rest of your people?
6 You have given them the bread of weeping for food; for their drink you have given them sorrow in great measure.
7 You make us a cause of war among our neighbours; our haters are laughing at us among themselves.
8 Take us back again, O God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.
9 You took a vine out of Egypt: driving out the nations, and planting it in their land.
10 You made ready a place for it, so that it might take deep root, and it sent out its branches over all the land.
11 The mountains were covered with its shade, and the great trees with its branches.
