There is no one who calls on your name
    or rouses himself to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
    and have given us[a] into the control[b] of our iniquity.

God, our Father, will Act

But as for you,[c] O Lord, you are our Father;
    and[d] we are clay,[e]
and you are our potter;
    we are all the work of your hands.[f]
Don’t be angry beyond measure, Lord,
    and don’t remember our iniquity for a season.[g]
        Please look now, we are all your people.
