⁸ You who are the hope^(A) of Israel,
    its Savior^(B) in times of distress,^(C)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler who stays only a night?

⁷ Whoever found them devoured^(A) them;
    their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty,^(B)
for they sinned against the Lord, their verdant pasture,
    the Lord, the hope^(C) of their ancestors.’
