Isaiah 64:7

Prayer For Mercy

⁶ For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
⁷ There is no one who calls on Your name,
Who arouses himself to take hold of You;
For You have hidden Your face from us
And have delivered us into the power of our iniquities.
⁸ But now, O Lord, You are our Father,
We are the clay, and You our potter;
And all of us are the work of Your hand.
