You who are the hope(A) of Israel,
    its Savior(B) in times of distress,(C)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler who stays only a night?
Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
    like a warrior powerless to save?(D)
You are among(E) us, Lord,
    and we bear your name;(F)
    do not forsake(G) us!

    and punish them for their sins.”(K)
