And there is no one who calls on your name,
    who pulls himself up to keep hold of you,
for you have hidden your face from us,[a]
    and melted us into the hand of our iniquity.
Yet now Yahweh, you are our father;
    we are the clay and you are our potter,[b]
    and we all are the work of your hand.

    and you must not remember iniquity forever!

Look! Behold, now! We all are your people!
