REFRAIN
The vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel.
VERSE 1
You brought a vine out of Egypt;
you drove out the nations and planted it.
It stretched out its branches to the sea;
to the River it stretched out its shoots.
VERSE 2
Then why have you broken down its walls?
It is plucked by all who pass by the way.
It is ravaged by the boar of the forest,
devoured by the beasts of the field.
VERSE 4
And we shall never forsake you again;
give us life that we may call upon your name.
O LORD God of hosts, bring us back;
let your face shine forth, and we shall be saved.
VERSE 3
God of hosts, turn again, we implore;
look down from heaven and see.
Visit this vine and protect it,
the vine your right hand has planted,
the son of man you have claimed for yourself.
