We know that we suffer because of our sins.
    Lord, do something to help us for the good of your name.
We have left you many times;
    we have sinned against you.
God, the Hope of Israel,
    you have saved Israel in times of trouble.
Why are you like a stranger in the land,
    or like a traveler who only stays one night?
Why are you like someone who has been attacked by surprise,
    like a warrior who is not able to save anyone?
But you are among us, Lord,
    and we are called by your name
    so don’t leave us without help!

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,

    and we bear your name;(J)
    do not forsake(K) us!
