¹⁰ Like the blind^(A) we grope along the wall,
    feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble^(B) as if it were twilight;
    among the strong, we are like the dead.^(C)
11 We all growl like bears;
    we moan mournfully like doves.^(D)
We look for justice, but find none;
    for deliverance, but it is far away.

¹² For our offenses^(E) are many in your sight,
    and our sins testify^(F) against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
    and we acknowledge our iniquities:^(G)
