7 Although our sins testify against us,

do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.

For we have often rebelled;

we have sinned against you.

8 You who are the hope of Israel,

its Savior in times of distress,

why are you like a stranger in the land,

like a traveler who stays only a night?

9 Why are you like a man taken by surprise,

like a warrior powerless to save?

You are among us, Lord,

and we bear your name;

do not forsake us!

10 This is what the Lord says about this people:

“They greatly love to wander;

they do not restrain their feet.

So the Lord does not accept them;

he will now remember their wickedness

and punish them for their sins.”

7 O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name’s sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. 8 O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? 9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O Lord, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not. 10 Thus saith the Lord unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the Lord doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.

7 The people say, “Our wickedness has caught up with us, Lord,

but help us for the sake of your own reputation.

We have turned away from you

and sinned against you again and again.

8 O Hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble,

why are you like a stranger to us?

Why are you like a traveler passing through the land,

stopping only for the night?

9 Are you also confused?

Is our champion helpless to save us?

You are right here among us, Lord.

We are known as your people.

Please don’t abandon us now!”

10 So this is what the Lord says to his people:

“You love to wander far from me

and do not restrain yourselves.

Therefore, I will no longer accept you as my people.

Now I will remember all your wickedness

and will punish you for your sins.”

7 O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us,

Do it for Your name’s sake;

For our backslidings are many,

We have sinned against You.

8 O the Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble,

Why should You be like a stranger in the land,

And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?

9 Why should You be like a man astonished,

Like a mighty one who cannot save?

Yet You, O Lord, are in our midst,

And we are called by Your name;

Do not leave us!

10 Thus says the Lord to this people:

“Thus they have loved to wander;

They have not restrained their feet.

Therefore the Lord does not accept them;

He will remember their iniquity now,

And punish their sins.”

7 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.

8 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?

9 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!

10 This is what the Lord says about the people of Judah:

“They really love to wander from me;

they don’t stop themselves from leaving me.

So now the Lord will not accept them.

He will now remember the evil they do

and will punish them for their sins.”

7 Though our iniquities testify against us, work thou for thy name’s sake, O Jehovah; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. 8 O thou hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in the time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a sojourner in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? 9 Why shouldest thou be as a man affrighted, as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet thou, O Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

10 Thus saith Jehovah unto this people, Even so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore Jehovah doth not accept them; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.

7 Jehovah, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou act for thy name’s sake; for our backslidings are many—we have sinned against thee. 8 Thou hope of Israel, its Saviour in the time of trouble, why wilt thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a traveller that turneth aside to stay a night? 9 Why wilt thou be as a man astonished, as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet thou, Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name: leave us not.

10 Thus saith Jehovah to this people: Even so have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet; and Jehovah hath no delight in them: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.

7 Do something, Lord, for the sake of your name, 

even though our sins testify against us. 

We have been unfaithful and have sinned against you. 

8 You are Israel’s hope, 

the one who saves it in times of trouble. 

Why should you be like a stranger in the land, 

like a traveler who stays only one night? 

9 Why should you be like someone taken by surprise, 

like a strong man who cannot help? 

You, O Lord, are among us. 

We are called by your name. 

Don’t leave us! 

10 This is what the Lord says about these people: They love to wander. They don’t keep their feet where they belong. So the Lord isn’t happy with them. He will remember their crimes and punish their sins. 

7 Though our guilt testifies against us,

Yahweh, act for Your name’s sake.

Indeed, our rebellions are many;

we have sinned against You.

8 Hope of Israel,

its Savior in time of distress,

why are You like a foreigner in the land,

like a traveler stopping only for the night?

9 Why are You like a helpless man,

like a warrior unable to save?

Yet You are among us, Yahweh,

and we are called by Your name.

Don’t leave us!

10 This is what the Lord says concerning these people:

Truly they love to wander;

they never rest their feet.

So the Lord does not accept them.

Now He will remember their guilt

and punish their sins.

7 Although our iniquities testify against us,

act, O Lord, for your name’s sake;

our apostasies indeed are many,

and we have sinned against you.

8 O hope of Israel,

its savior in time of trouble,

why should you be like a stranger in the land,

like a traveler turning aside for the night?

9 Why should you be like someone confused,

like a mighty warrior who cannot give help?

Yet you, O Lord, are in the midst of us,

and we are called by your name;

do not forsake us!

10 Thus says the Lord concerning this people:

Truly they have loved to wander,

they have not restrained their feet;

therefore the Lord does not accept them,

now he will remember their iniquity

and punish their sins.

7 Although our iniquities testify against us, O Yahweh,

act for the sake of your name.

Yes, our apostasies are many;

we have sinned against you.

8 You are the hope of Israel,

its savior in time of distress.

Why should you be like an alien in the land,

or like a traveler who spreads out his tent to spend the night?

9 Why should you be like a confused man,

like a warrior who is not able to help?

Yet you are in our midst, O Yahweh,

and your name is called upon us.

You must not leave us!

10 Thus says Yahweh concerning this people:

“They have loved so much to wander,

they have not spared their feet.

Therefore Yahweh is not favorable to them,

now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins.”

7 Our sins are a witness against us.

Lord, do something for the honor of your name.

We have completely turned away from you.

We’ve sinned against you.

8 You are Israel’s only hope.

You save us when we’re in trouble.

Why are you like a stranger to us?

Why are you like a traveler who stays for only one night?

9 Why are you like a man who is taken by surprise?

Why are you like a soldier who can’t save anyone?

Lord, you are among us.

And we are your people.

Please don’t desert us!

10 The Lord has given me a message about these people. He says,

“They really love to wander away from me.

Their feet go down the wrong path.

I do not accept these people.

I will remember the evil things they have done.

I will punish them for their sins.”

7 “Although our iniquities testify against us,

O Lord, act for Your name’s sake!

Truly our apostasies have been many,

We have sinned against You.

8 “O Hope of Israel,

Its Savior in time of distress,

Why are You like a stranger in the land

Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent for the night?

9 “Why are You like a man dismayed,

Like a mighty man who cannot save?

Yet You are in our midst, O Lord,

And we are called by Your name;

Do not forsake us!”

10 Thus says the Lord to this people, “Even so they have loved to wander; they have not kept their feet in check. Therefore the Lord does not accept them; now He will remember their iniquity and call their sins to account.”
