9 Help us, O God our Saviour, for the glory of thy name; deliver us and forgive us our sins for Thy name's sake.

10 Why should the Gentiles say, 'Where is their God?' Let vengeance be made known among the Gentiles before our eyes for the shed blood of Thy servants.

12 Seven times restore to our neighbours into their bosom the reproach with which they reproached thee, O Lord.

13 But we, Thy people, and Thy pasture of sheep, shall praise Thee for ever, and proclaim thy praise to generations and generations.

13 Why hast thou broken down her hedges, so that all that pass by the way cut her off?

14 The boar of the forest undermines it, and the beast of the field devours it.

15 God Almighty! Turn then, look down from heaven, and look, and visit this vineyard;
