⁵ You ^(A)meet him who rejoices in ^(B)doing righteousness,
Who ^(C)remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, ^(D)You were angry, for we sinned,
We continued in ^[a]our sins for a long time;
Yet shall we be saved?
⁶ For all of us have become like one who is ^(E)unclean,
And all our ^(F)righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us ^(G)wither like a leaf,
And our ^(H)wrongdoings, like the wind, take us away.
⁷ There is ^(I)no one who calls on Your name,
Who stirs himself to take hold of You;
For You have ^(J)hidden Your face from us
And have ^[b]surrendered us to the power of our wrongdoings.

⁷ Though our ^(A)wrongdoings testify against us,
Lord, act ^(B)for the sake of Your name!
Our ^(C)apostasies have indeed been many,
We have ^(D)sinned against You.
