You have given them tears for food;
    You have given them an abundance of tears to drink.
You have made us a source of trouble for our neighbors—
    our enemies laugh to each other behind our backs.

    Turn the light of Your face upon us so that we will be rescued from this sea of darkness.

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