17Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. 18Thy holy people have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. 19We have become like those over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

Your holy people held possession for a little while;

our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.

We have become like those over whom you have never ruled,

like those who are not called by your name.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Why, Lord, do you make us wander from your ways

and harden our hearts so we do not revere you?

Return for the sake of your servants,

the tribes that are your inheritance.

For a little while your people possessed your holy place,

but now our enemies have trampled down your sanctuary.

We are yours from of old;

but you have not ruled over them,

they have not been called by your name.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Why, Lord, do you make us stray from your ways?

You harden our hearts so we do not fear you.

Return, because of your servants,

the tribes of your heritage.

Your holy people had a possession

for a little while,

but our enemies have trampled down

your sanctuary.

We have become like those you never ruled,

like those who did not bear your name.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

How briefly your holy people possessed your holy place,

and now our enemies have destroyed it.

Sometimes it seems as though we never belonged to you,

as though we had never been known as your people.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

Your holy people took possession for a little while;

our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.

We have been since antiquity; you did not rule them;

they were not called by your name.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while:

Our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

We are thine: thou never barest rule over them;

They were not called by thy name.
