1. Turn back, O Israel, unto Jehovah thy God, For thou hast stumbled by thine iniquity.
2. Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah, Say ye unto Him: `Take away all iniquity, and give good, And we do render the fruit of our lips.
3. Asshur doth not save us, on a horse we ride not, Nor do we say any more, Our God, to the work of our hands, For in Thee find mercy doth the fatherless.'
4. I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For turned back hath Mine anger from him.
5. I am as dew to Israel, he flourisheth as a lily, And he striketh forth his roots as Lebanon.
6. Go on do his sucklings, And his beauty is as an olive, And he hath fragrance as Lebanon.
