“Though our iniquities testify against us,
    act, O Lord, (A)for your name's sake;
(B)for our backslidings are many;
    (C)we have sinned against you.
(D)O you hope of Israel,
    its savior in time of trouble,
why should you be like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
Why should you be like a man confused,
    (E)like a mighty warrior who cannot save?
Yet (F)you, O Lord, are in the midst of us,
    and (G)we are called by your name;
    (H)do not leave us.”

10 Thus says the Lord concerning this people:
“They have loved to wander thus;
    they have not restrained their feet;
(I)therefore the Lord does not accept them;
    (J)now he will remember their iniquity
    and punish their sins.”

19 (A)Have you utterly rejected Judah?
    Does your soul loathe Zion?
Why have you struck us down
    (B)so that there is no healing for us?
(C)We looked for peace, but no good came;
    (D)for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
20 (E)We acknowledge our wickedness, O Lord,
    and the iniquity of our fathers,
    (F)for we have sinned against you.
21 Do not spurn us, (G)for your name's sake;
    do not dishonor your glorious throne;
    (H)remember and do not break your covenant with us.
22 Are there any among (I)the false gods of the nations (J)that can bring rain?
    Or can the heavens give showers?
Are you not he, O Lord our God?
    We set our hope on you,
    (K)for you do all these things.
