(Some words not found in UHB: restore,us YHWH to,yourself and, renew days_of,our like,ancient_time )
These phrases are imperatives, but they communicate polite requests rather than commands. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please bring us back to yourself, Yahweh, and please let us return; please make our days as they were in times past]
