5 Instead of bread, tears are their food, [Which now] thou givest them to eat; And tears thou givest them to drink, And that in measure [very] great.
6 Thou makest us a strife unto Our [envious] neighbours round about; Our enemies among themselves At us do [daily] laugh and flout.
7 Turn us again, O Lord of Hosts, And upon us [do thou] vouchsafe To make thy pleased face to shine, And then we shall [again] be safe.
8 Thou hast a Vine from Egypt brought By thy out-stretched [mighty] hand; And thou the heathen didst cast out, And plant it in their [promised] land.
