From ancient times no one has heard.
No ear has understood.
No eye has seen any god except you,
who goes into action for the one who waits for him.
You meet anyone who joyfully practices righteousness,
who remembers you by walking in your ways!
But you were angry because we sinned.
We have remained in our sins for a long time.

Can we still be saved?
All of us have become like something unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like a filthy cloth.[a]
All of us have withered like a leaf,
and our guilt carries us away like the wind.
