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?

    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.

    and we are called by your name;
    do not forsake us!(C)
