The way of peace they do not know,
    and there is no justice in their paths.
Their roads they have made crooked;
    no one who walks in them knows peace.

Therefore justice is far from us,
    and righteousness does not reach us;
we wait for light, and lo! there is darkness;
    and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 We grope like the blind along a wall,
    groping like those who have no eyes;
we stumble at noon as in the twilight,
    among the vigorous[a] as though we were dead.

The way of peace they do not know;(A)

So justice is far from us,
    and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;(D)
    for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10 Like the blind(E) we grope along the wall,
    feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble(F) as if it were twilight;
    among the strong, we are like the dead.(G)
