O God[of] hosts,turnagainnow,we beseechYou; Lookdownfrom heavenand see,and takecareof thisvine,
The LORDlooksfrom heaven;He seesallthe sonsof men;
Let the assemblyof the peoplesencompassYou, And overthem returnon high.
Do return,O LORD;howlong[will it be]? And be sorryfor Your servants.
Lookdownfrom heavenand seefrom Your holyand glorioushabitation;Whereare Your zealand Your mightydeeds?The stirringsof Your heartand Your compassionare restrainedtowardme.
Why,O LORD,do You cause us to strayfrom Your waysAnd hardenour heartfrom fearingYou? Returnfor the sakeof Your servants,the tribesof Your heritage.
Untilthe LORDlooksdownAnd seesfrom heaven.
Whoknowswhether He will [not] turnand relentAnd leavea blessingbehindHim, [Even] a grain offeringand a drinkofferingFor the LORDyour God?
"From the daysof your fathersyou have turnedasidefrom My statutesand have not kept[them]. Returnto Me, and I will returnto you," saysthe LORDof hosts."But you say,'Howshall we return?'
AFTERTHESE THINGSI will return,AND I WILL REBUILDTHE TABERNACLEOF DAVIDWHICH HAS FALLEN,AND I WILL REBUILDITS RUINS,AND I WILL RESTOREIT,
