(A)From of old no one has heard
    or perceived by the ear,
(B)no eye has seen a God besides you,
    who acts for those who wait for him.
You meet him who joyfully works righteousness,
    those who remember you in your ways.
Behold, you were angry, and we sinned;
    in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?[a]
(C)We have all become like one who is unclean,
    and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.
(D)We all fade like a leaf,
    and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
(E)There is no one who calls upon your name,
    who rouses himself to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
    and have made us melt in[b] the hand of our iniquities.
