5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways.
You are indeed angry, for we have sinned—
aIn these ways we continue;
And we need to be saved.
Who remembers You in Your ways.
You are indeed angry, for we have sinned—
aIn these ways we continue;
And we need to be saved.
6 But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all aour righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all bfade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.
And all aour righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all bfade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.
7 And there is no one who calls on Your name,
Who stirs himself up to take hold of You;
For You have hidden Your face from us,
And have1 consumed us because of our iniquities.
Who stirs himself up to take hold of You;
For You have hidden Your face from us,
And have1 consumed us because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O Lord,
You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our apotter;
And all we are the work of Your hand.
You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our apotter;
And all we are the work of Your hand.
9 Do not be furious, O Lord,
Nor remember iniquity forever;
Indeed, please look—we all are Your people!
Nor remember iniquity forever;
Indeed, please look—we all are Your people!
