7 You have made us the derision of our neighbours, ♦︎
and our enemies laugh us to scorn.
8 Turn us again, O God of hosts; ♦︎
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.
9 You brought a vine out of Egypt; ♦︎
you drove out the nations and planted it.
10 You made room around it, ♦︎
and when it had taken root, it filled the land.
11 The hills were covered with its shadow ♦︎
and the cedars of God by its boughs.
12 It stretched out its branches to the Sea ♦︎
and its tendrils to the River.
13 Why then have you broken down its wall, ♦︎
so that all who pass by pluck off its grapes?
14 The wild boar out of the wood tears it off, ♦︎
and all the insects of the field devour it.
15 Turn again, O God of hosts, ♦︎
look down from heaven and behold;
