And our (B)sins [a]testify against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And [b]we know our iniquities:
13 Transgressing and (C)denying the Lord,
And turning away from our God,
Speaking (D)oppression and revolt,
Conceiving in and (E)uttering from the heart lying words.
14 (F)Justice is turned back,
And (G)righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And uprightness cannot enter.
