Though our iniquities testify against us,
        Adonai, act for Your Name’s sake.
    For our backslidings are many.
    We have sinned against You.
O hope of Israel,
    Savior in time of trouble,
    why are You like a stranger in the land,
    or like a traveler who stays for a night?
Why are You like a man overcome,
        like a champion who cannot save?
    Yet you, Adonai, are in our midst,
    and we are called by Your Name.
    Do not forsake us!

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