6  ^vWe have all become like one who is unclean,

and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.

^wWe all fade like a leaf,

and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

7  ^xThere is no one who calls upon your name,

who rouses himself to take hold of you;

for you have hidden your face from us,

and have made us melt in¹ the hand of our iniquities.
