God, the Hope of Israel,
    you have saved Israel in times of trouble.
Why are you like a stranger in the land,
    or like a traveler who only stays one night?
Why are you like someone who has been attacked by surprise,
    like a warrior who is not able to save anyone?
But you are among us, Lord,
    and we are called by your name
    so don’t leave us without help!

10 This is what the Lord says about the people of Judah:

“They really love to wander from me;
    they don’t stop themselves from leaving me.
So now the Lord will not accept them.
    He will now remember the evil they do
    and will punish them for their sins.”
