40 Let us search out and examine our ways,and turn back to the Lord.
41 Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven:
42 We have sinned and rebelled;You have not forgiven.
43 You have covered Yourself in anger and pursued us;You have killed without compassion.
44 You have covered Yourself with a cloudso that no prayer can pass through.
45 You have made us disgusting filthamong the peoples.
46 All our enemiesopen their mouths against us.
