O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, and we shall be saved when thy face shines once more. 3 A place for thy people thou, Lord, didst prepare, thy vine deeply rooted rewarded thy care; its branches, like cedars, majestic and free, spread over the mountains from river to sea. 4 Thy vineyard no longer thy tender care knows, defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes; O turn, we beseech thee, all glory is thine, look down in thy mercy and visit thy vine. 5 The branch of thy planting is burned and cut down, brought nigh to destruction because of thy frown; the man of thy right hand with wisdom endue, the son of man strengthen thy pleasure to do. 6 When thou shalt revive us, thy name we will praise, and nevermore, turning, depart from thy ways; O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, and we shall be saved when thy face shines once more.
