You (A)meet him who rejoices in (B)doing righteousness,
Who (C)remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, (D)You were angry, for we sinned,
We continued in them a long time;
And shall we be saved?
For all of us have become like one who is (E)unclean,
And all our (F)righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us (G)wither like a leaf,
And our (H)iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
There is (I)no one who calls on Your name,
Who arouses himself to take hold of You;
For You have (J)hidden Your face from us
And have [a]delivered us into the power of our iniquities.
