You have caused the people who live near us to laugh at us. Our enemies insult us. 7God Almighty, turn us to come back to you. Look at us with a smile on your face! Then we will be safe. 8You pulled us out from Egypt, like a vine that you dug out of the ground. You chased nations out of this land, and you planted us here.
