⁷ Although our ^(A)iniquities answer against us,
O Yahweh, act ^(B)for Your name’s sake!
Truly our ^(C)acts of faithlessness have been many;
We have ^(D)sinned against You.
⁸ O ^(E)Hope of Israel,
Its ^(F)Savior in ^(G)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?
⁹ Why are You like a man confused,
Like a mighty man who ^(H)cannot save?
Yet ^(I)You are in our midst, O Yahweh,
And we are ^(J)called by Your name;
Do not leave us!”
