⁷ No one^(A) calls on your name^(B)
    or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden^(C) your face from us
    and have given us over^(D) to^[a] our sins.

⁸ Yet you, Lord, are our Father.^(E)
    We are the clay, you are the potter;^(F)
    we are all the work of your hand.^(G)
9 Do not be angry^(H) beyond measure, Lord;
    do not remember our sins^(I) forever.
Oh, look on us, we pray,
    for we are all your people.^(J)
