39 What--sigh habitually doth a living man, A man for his sin?
40 We search our ways, and investigate, And turn back unto Jehovah.
41 We lift up our heart on the hands unto God in the heavens.
42 We--we have transgressed and rebelled, Thou--Thou hast not forgiven.
43 Thou hast covered Thyself with anger, And dost pursue us; Thou hast slain-- Thou hast not pitied.
44 Thou hast covered Thyself with a cloud, So that prayer doth not pass through.
45 Offscouring and refuse Thou dost make us In the midst of the peoples.
