before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Your mighty power and come to save us.

O LORD God of Hosts, how long will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people?

Return, O God of Hosts, we pray! Look down from heaven and see! Attend to this vine—

the root Your right hand has planted, the son You have raised up for Yourself.
