make your face shine on us,#Nm 6:25

4 Lord God of Armies,
how long will you be angry
with your people’s prayers?#Ps 74:10; 79:5; 85:5
5You fed them the bread of tears
and gave them a full measure#80:5 Lit a one-third measure

it took root and filled the land.#Am 9:15
10The mountains were covered by its shade,
and the mighty cedars#80:10 Lit the cedars of God with its branches.#Ezk 17:22–24

with the son of man
you have made strong for yourself.#Ps 89:21

revive us, and we will call on your name.#Ps 71:20; 85:6
19Restore us, Lord, God of Armies;#Ps 60:1; 85:4; Lm 5:21
make your face shine on us, so that we may be saved.#Mal 1:9
