¹⁰ Like blind people,
    we touch the wall to find our way.
It seems that we have no eyes to see with.
Even at midday, we trip and we fall down,
    as if it was dark.
We are like dead people
    who live among strong people.
¹¹ We all make a noise, like hungry bears.
    We make sad noises, like doves.
We are waiting for God to bring justice to us,
    but nothing is happening.
We look for his salvation,
    but it is still far away.
¹² Lord, you see all the bad things that we have done.
    Our many sins show that we are wrong.
We know about the wrong things that we have done.
    We agree that our sins are many.
