"You are the hope of Israel". Another name for Yahweh.

why will you be like a stranger in the land, like a foreign wanderer who stretches out and spends just one night?

"you should not be like a stranger in the land, like a foreign wanderer who stretches out and spends just one night." The people are asking if Yahweh is unconcerned with his people and unable to help them.
