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 [a] 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!

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.”
