You (A)meet him who rejoices and (B)does righteousness,
Who (C)remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, (D)You were angry; indeed we have sinned—
We continued in them a long time—
And shall we be saved?
For all of us have become like one who is (E)unclean,
And all our (F)righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us (G)wither like a leaf,
And our (H)iniquities, like the wind, carry us away.
There is (I)no one who calls on Your name,
Who awakens himself to take hold of You,
For You have (J)hidden Your face from us
And have [a]melted us into the hand of our iniquities.

  1. Isaiah 64:7 DSS and versions delivered

You come to the help of those who gladly do right,(A)
    who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
    you were angry.(B)
    How then can we be saved?
All of us have become like one who is unclean,(C)
    and all our righteous(D) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,(E)
    and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(F)
No one(G) calls on your name(H)
    or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden(I) your face from us
    and have given us over(J) to[a] our sins.
