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 (A)wrongdoings testify against us,
Lord, act (B)for the sake of Your name!
Our (C)apostasies have indeed been many,
We have (D)sinned against You.
(E)Hope of Israel,
Its (F)Savior in (G)time of distress,
Why are You like a stranger in the land,
Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent for the night?
Why are You like a confused person,
Like a warrior who (H)cannot save?
Yet (I)You are in our midst, Lord,
And we are (J)called by Your name;
Do not leave us!”
