5. Even deer in the fields give birth and abandon their youngbecause there’s no grass.
6. Wild donkeys stand on the bare hills.They sniff the air like jackals.Their eyesight fails because they have no green plants.
7. Do something, Lord, for the sake of your name,even though our sins testify against us.We have been unfaithful and have sinned against you.
8. You are Israel’s hope,the one who saves it in times of trouble.Why should you be like a stranger in the land,like a traveler who stays only one night?
