Although our iniquities testify against us,
    act, O Lord, for your name’s sake;
our rebellions indeed are many,
    and we have sinned against you.(A)
O hope of Israel,
    its savior in time of trouble,
why should you be like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler turning aside for the night?(B)
Why should you be like someone confused,
    like a mighty warrior who cannot give help?
Yet you, O Lord, are in the midst of us,
    and we are called by your name;
    do not forsake us!(C)

“Though our iniquities testify against us,
    act, O Lord, for thy name’s sake;
for our backslidings are many,
    we have sinned against thee.
O thou hope of Israel,
    its savior in time of trouble,
why shouldst thou be like a stranger in the land,
    like a wayfarer who turns aside to tarry for a night?
Why shouldst thou be like a man confused,
    like a mighty man who cannot save?
Yet thou, O Lord, art in the midst of us,
    and we are called by thy name;
    leave us not.”
