⁵ You meet him who joyfully works righteousness,
    those who remember you in your ways.
Behold, you were angry, and we sinned;
    in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?^[a]
6 (A)We have all become like one who is unclean,
    and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.
^(B)We all fade like a leaf,
    and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
^7 (C)There is no one who calls upon your name,
    who rouses himself to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
    and have made us melt in^[b] the hand of our iniquities.
