5. You come to help those who enjoy doing what is right. You help those who thank you for teaching them how to live. But when we continued to disobey you, you became angry with us. So how can we be saved?
6. All of us have become like someone who is "unclean." All of the good things we do are like polluted rags to you. All of us are like leaves that have dried up. Our sins sweep us away like the wind.
7. No one prays to you. No one asks you for help. You have turned your face away from us. You have let us waste away because we have sinned so much.
8. Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay. You are the potter. Your hands made all of us.
9. Don't be so angry with us, Lord. Don't remember our sins anymore. Please show us your favor. All of us belong to you.
