(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.
(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[a] the hand of our iniquities.

(D)But now, O Lord, you are our Father;
    (E)we are the clay, and you are our potter;
    (F)we are all the work of your hand.
(G)Be not so terribly angry, O Lord,
    (H)and remember not iniquity forever.
    Behold, please look, we are all your people.
