⁸ You who are the hope^(A) of Israel,
    its Savior^(B) in times of distress,^(C)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler who stays only a night?

⁷ “But blessed^(A) is the one who trusts^(B) in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.

¹³ Lord, you are the hope^(A) of Israel;
    all who forsake^(B) you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust^(C)
    because they have forsaken the Lord,
    the spring of living water.^(D)

¹⁷ Do not be a terror^(A) to me;
    you are my refuge^(B) in the day of disaster.^(C)

⁷ Whoever found them devoured^(A) them;
    their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty,^(B)
for they sinned against the Lord, their verdant pasture,
    the Lord, the hope^(C) of their ancestors.’
