# our iniquities testify against us
|
|

|
|
|

# for the sake of your name
|
|

# why will you be like a stranger in the land ... Why are you like someone who is astounded
|

|
|
# why will you be like a stranger in the land, like a foreign wanderer ... just one night

This question speaks of the possibility of Yahweh being unconcerned with helping his people as if he were a stranger just travelling though a place unconcerned with those living there. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
|
|
|
|
# who stretches out and spends just one night
|
|

Both of the phrase have the same meaning and may be combined. AT: "who stays for only one night" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

# Why are you like someone who is astounded, or like a warrior who has no power to rescue
