3When you did terrible things which we didn`t look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
5You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways: behold, you were angry, and we sinned: in them [have we been] of long time; and shall we be saved?
6For we are all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness are as a polluted garment: and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hid your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
8But now, Yahweh, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
9Don`t be angry very sore, Yahweh, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people.
