Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,

Restore us, O God;

make your face shine on us,

that we may be saved.

How long, Lord God Almighty,

will your anger smolder

against the prayers of your people?

You have fed them with the bread of tears;

you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.

You have made us an object of derision80:6 Probable reading of the original Hebrew text; Masoretic Text contention to our neighbors,

Restore us, God Almighty;

make your face shine on us,

that we may be saved.
