For you are our Father,

though Abraham does not know us,

and Israel does not acknowledge us;

you, O Lord, are our Father,

O Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways

and harden our heart, so that we fear you not?

Return for the sake of your servants,

the tribes of your heritage.

But you are our Father,

though Abraham does not know us

or Israel acknowledge us;

you, Lord, are our Father,

and harden our hearts so we do not revere you?

Return for the sake of your servants,

the tribes that are your inheritance.

You harden our hearts so we do not fear you.

Return, because of your servants,

the tribes of your heritage.

NLTNew Living Translation

Surely you are still our Father!

Even if Abraham and Jacob would disown us,

Lord, you would still be our Father.

You are our Redeemer from ages past.

Lord, why have you allowed us to turn from your path?

Why have you given us stubborn hearts so we no longer fear you?

Return and help us, for we are your servants,

the tribes that are your special possession.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

For you are our father, although Abraham does not know us,

and Israel does not acknowledge us.

You, Yahweh are our father,

Our Redeemer from of old is your name.

Why do you make us wander from your ways, Yahweh?

You harden our heart so that we do not fear you.

Turn back for the sake of your servants,

the tribes of your inheritance.

Doubtless thou art our father,

Though Abraham be ignorant of us,

Thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer;

Thy name is from everlasting.

O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways,

And hardened our heart from thy fear?

Return for thy servants’ sake,

The tribes of thine inheritance.
