God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

receive atonement for Thy people Israel, whom Thou hast ransomed, O Jehovah, and suffer not innocent blood in the midst of Thy people Israel; and the blood hath been pardoned to them,
Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!
