⁸ O ^(A)Hope of Israel,
Its ^(B)Savior in ^(C)time of distress,
Why are You like a sojourner in the land
Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent to lodge for the night?

⁷ All who came out against them have devoured them;
And their adversaries have said, ‘^(A)We are not guilty,
Inasmuch as they have sinned against Yahweh, who is the ^(B)abode of righteousness,
Even Yahweh, the ^(C)hope of their fathers.’
