5
You welcome the one who joyfully does what is right;
they remember You in Your ways.
But we have sinned, and You were angry.
How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?(a)
6
All of us have become like something unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like a polluted(b) garment;(A)
all of us wither like a leaf,(B)
and our iniquities(C) carry us away like the wind.
7
No one calls on Your name,
striving to take hold of You.
For You have hidden Your face from us(D)
and made us melt because of(c)(d) our iniquity.
