⁷ Although our sins testify^(A) against us,
    do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.^(B)
For we have often rebelled;^(C)
    we have sinned^(D) against you.
⁸ You who are the hope^(E) of Israel,
    its Savior^(F) in times of distress,^(G)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler who stays only a night?
⁹ Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
    like a warrior powerless to save?^(H)
You are among^(I) us, Lord,
    and we bear your name;^(J)
    do not forsake^(K) us!
