Israel Restored at Last
And return to the Lord.
Say to Him,
“Take away all iniquity;
Receive us graciously,
For we will offer the asacrifices of our lips.
bWe will not ride on horses,
Nor will we say anymore to the work of our hands, ‘You are our gods.’
cFor in You the fatherless finds mercy.”
He shall1 grow like the lily,
And1 lengthen his roots like Lebanon.
aHis beauty shall be like an olive tree,
And bhis fragrance like Lebanon.
