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!

Although our sins testify(A) against us,

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?
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!
