evil cannot dwell with You.

and His ear is not too deaf to hear.
But your iniquities have built barriers
between you and your God,
and your sins have made Him hide His face from you
so that He does not listen.

and your fingers, with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies,
and your tongues mutter injustice.

and our sins testify against us.
For our transgressions are with us,
and we know our iniquities:
transgression and deception against the Lord,
turning away from following our God,
speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering lying words from the heart.

and righteousness stands far off.
For truth has stumbled in the public square,
