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.

Though our iniquities testify against us,
Lord, act for your name’s sake.
Indeed, our rebellions(A) are many;
we have sinned against you.(B)
Hope of Israel,(C)
its Savior in time of distress,
why are you like a resident alien in the land,
like a traveler stopping only for the night?
Why are you like a helpless man,
like a warrior unable to save?(D)
Yet you are among us, Lord,(E)
and we bear your name.
Don’t leave us!
