\u201cThough our iniquities testify against us,
\n act, O Lord, for thy name\u2019s sake;
\nfor our backslidings are many,
\n we have sinned against thee.
\nO thou hope of Israel,
\n its savior in time of trouble,
\nwhy shouldst thou be like a stranger in the land,
\n like a wayfarer who turns aside to tarry for a night?
\nWhy shouldst thou be like a man confused,
\n like a mighty man who cannot save?
\nYet thou, O Lord, art in the midst of us,
\n and we are called by thy name;
\n leave us not.\u201d<\/p>\n
