The Hope of Israel [C God],
    you have ·saved [rescued] it [C Israel] in times of ·trouble [distress].
Why are you like a ·stranger [alien resident] in the land,
    or like a traveler who only stays one night?
Why are you like someone who has been attacked by surprise,
    like a warrior who is not able to ·save anyone [be victorious]?
But you are among us, Lord,
    and we are called by your name
    so don’t ·leave us without help [forsake us]!

10 This is what the Lord says about this people [C of Judah]:

“They really love to wander from me;
    they don’t ·stop themselves from leaving me [L restrain their feet].
So now the Lord will not ·accept [be pleased with] them.
    He will now remember ·the evil they do [their iniquity]
    and will punish them for their sins.”

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!

10 This is what the Lord says about this people:

“They greatly love to wander;
    they do not restrain their feet.(H)
So the Lord does not accept(I) them;
    he will now remember(J) their wickedness
    and punish them for their sins.”(K)
