Return to us, O Jehovah—how long?
Be again gracious to thy servants.
O! satisfy us speedily with thy mercy,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,
And the years wherein we have seen evil.
Let thy work appear unto thy servants
And thy glory unto their children.
May the favour of the Lord our God be upon us
And prosper thou the work of our hands;
