5. You’ve fed them bread made of tears;you’ve given them tears to drink three times over!
6. You’ve put us at odds with our neighbors;our enemies make fun of us.
7. Restore us, God of heavenly forces!Make your face shine so that we can be saved!
8. You brought a vine out of Egypt.You drove out the nations and planted it.
9. You cleared the ground for it;then it planted its roots deep, filling the land.
10. The mountains were covered by its shade;the mighty cedars were covered by its branches.
11. It sent its branches all the way to the sea;its shoots went all the way to the Euphrates River.
12. So why have you now torn down its wallsso that all who come along can pluck its fruit,
