Against thy peoples praire.

Thou feed'st them with the bread of tears,  
Their bread with tears they eat,  
And mak'st them* largely drink the tears  
Wherewith their cheeks are wet.  
A strife thou mak'st us and a prey  
To every neighbour foe,  
*Shalish.  
Among themselves they *laugh, they *play,  
And *flouts at us they throw.  
Return us, and thy grace divine,  
O God of Hosts vouchsafe  
*Jilgnagu.

Cause thou thy face on us to shine,  
And then we shall be safe.  
A Vine from Aegypt thou hast brought,  
Thy free love made it thine,  
And drov'st out Nations proud and haut  
To plant this lovely Vine.  
Thou did'st prepare for it a place  
And root it deep and fast  
That it began to grow apace,  
And fill'd the land at last.

0 With her green shade that cover'd all,  
The Hills were over-spread  
Her Bows as high as Cedars tall  
Advanc'd their lofty head.
