7Although our sins testifyx against us,

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

For we have often rebelled;z

we have sinneda against you.

8You who are the hopeb of Israel,

its Saviorc in times of distress,d

why are you like a stranger in the land,

like a traveler who stays only a night?

9Why are you like a man taken by surprise,

like a warrior powerless to save?e

You are amongf us, Lord,

and we bear your name;g

do not forsakeh us!

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“Though our iniquities testify against us,

act, O Lord, for your name’s sake;

for our backslidings are many;

we have sinned against you.

O you hope of Israel,

its savior in time of trouble,

why should you be like a stranger in the land,

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

Why should you be like a man confused,

like a mighty warrior who cannot save?

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

and we are called by your name;

do not leave us.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Though our iniquities testify against us,

Lord, act for your name’s sake.

Indeed, our rebellions are many;

we have sinned against you.

Hope of Israel,

its Savior in time of distress,

why are you like a resident alien in the land,

like a traveler stopping only for the night?

Why are you like a helpless man,

like a warrior unable to save?

Yet you are among us, Lord,

and we bear your name.

Don’t leave us!

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

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?

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!”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

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?

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!

KJV 1900King James Version

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. 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? 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.
