Only then will we be saved.H7725H430H6440H215H34674O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, how long will you be angry with our prayers?H3068H430H6635H6225H8605H59715You have fed us with sorrow and made us drink tears by the bucketful.H398H3899H1832H1832H8248H79916You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations. Our enemies treat us as a joke.H7760H4066H7934H341H39327Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us.
