All of us have become like something unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like a polluted[a] garment;(A)
all of us wither like a leaf,(B)
and our iniquities(C) carry us away like the wind.
No one calls on Your name,
striving to take hold of You.
For You have hidden Your face from us(D)
and made us melt because of[b][c] our iniquity.

Yet Lord, You are our Father;(E)
we are the clay, and You are our potter;
we all are the work of Your hands.(F)
