39 Mem Why does the living man have pain, the man in his sins?
40 Nun Let us search out our ways, and seek, and turn again to the Lord.
41 Nun Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42 Nun We have rebelled and been disloyal; therefore thou hast not forgiven.
43 Samech Thou hast unfurled anger and persecuted us; thou hast slain, thou hast not forgiven.
44 Samech Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud that our prayer should not pass through.
45 Samech Thou hast made us as the offscouring and abomination in the midst of the peoples.
