You have caused us to eat tears as our food.
    Buckets full of tears is what we drink.
You have caused the people who live near us
    to laugh at us.
Our enemies insult us.
God Almighty, turn us to come back to you.
Look at us with a smile on your face!
    Then we will be safe.

You have made us an object of derision[a] to our neighbors,
    and our enemies mock us.(C)

Restore us, God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.(D)
