No one(A) calls on your name(B)
    or strives to lay hold of you;
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)
10 Your sacred cities(K) have become a wasteland;
    even Zion is a wasteland, Jerusalem a desolation.(L)
11 Our holy and glorious temple,(M) where our ancestors praised you,
    has been burned with fire,
    and all that we treasured(N) lies in ruins.
