We don’t call to you for help.
We aren’t excited about following you,
    so you have turned away from us.
We are helpless before you,
    because we are full of sin.
But, Lord, you are our father.
    We are like clay, and you are the potter.
    Your hands made us all.
Lord, don’t continue to be angry with us!
    Don’t remember our sins forever!
Please, look at us!
    We are all your people.

for you have hidden(C) your face from us
    and have given us over(D) to[a] our sins.

Yet you, Lord, are our Father.(E)
    We are the clay, you are the potter;(F)
    we are all the work of your hand.(G)
Do not be angry(H) beyond measure, Lord;
    do not remember our sins(I) forever.
Oh, look on us, we pray,
    for we are all your people.(J)
