⁵ You come to the help of those who gladly do right,^(A)
    who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
    you were angry.^(B)
    How then can we be saved?
⁶ All of us have become like one who is unclean,^(C)
    and all our righteous^(D) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,^(E)
    and like the wind our sins sweep us away.^(F)

⁵ Surely I was sinful^(A) at birth,^(B)
    sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

⁶ We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(A)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(B)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(C) of us all.
