Though our iniquities testify against us,
    work for your name’s sake, Yahweh;
for our rebellions are many.
    We have sinned against you.
You hope of Israel,
    its Savior in the time of trouble,
why should you be as a foreigner in the land,
    and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
Why should you be like a scared man,
    as a mighty man who can’t save?
Yet you, Yahweh, are in the middle of us,
    and we are called by your name.
    Don’t leave us.

O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us,
Do it (A)for Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
(B)O the Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble,
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
Why should You be like a man astonished,
Like a mighty one (C)who cannot save?
Yet You, O Lord, (D)are in our midst,
And we are called by Your name;
Do not leave us!
