- You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.
- You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
- The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.
- It sent out its boughs to the Sea, its shoots as far as the River.
- Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
|
- Boars from the forest ravage it and the creatures of the field feed on it.
- Return to us, O God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,
- the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself.
- Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.
- Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself.
|
- Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
- Restore us, O LORD God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
