And all our (B)righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us (C)wither like a leaf,
And our (D)iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

Who arouses himself to take hold of You;
For You have (F)hidden Your face from us
And have [a]delivered us into the power of our iniquities.

We are the (H)clay, and You our potter;
And all of us are the (I)work of Your hand.
