Trangressing and Denying Yahweh

Therefore (A)justice is far from us,
And righteousness does not overtake us;
We (B)hope for light, but behold, darkness,
For brightness, but we walk in thick darkness.
10 We (C)grope along the wall like blind men;
We grope like those who have no eyes;
We (D)stumble at midday as in the twilight,
Among those who are vigorous we are (E)like dead men.

So justice is far from us,
    and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;(A)
    for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10 Like the blind(B) we grope along the wall,
    feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble(C) as if it were twilight;
    among the strong, we are like the dead.(D)

He who (D)makes dawn into gloom
And (E)treads on the high places of the earth,
(F)Yahweh God of hosts is His name.
