No one makes claims justly;no one pleads honestly.They trust in empty and worthless words;they conceive trouble and give birth to iniquity.

No one calls on Your name,striving to take hold of You.For You have hidden Your face from usand made us melt because of our iniquity.

Lord, do not be terribly angryor remember our iniquity forever.Please look—all of us are Your people!
