⁴ For from days of old ^(A)they have not heard or perceived by ear,
Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,
Who acts in behalf of one who ^(B)waits for Him.
⁵ You ^(C)meet him who rejoices in ^(D)doing righteousness,
Who ^(E)remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, ^(F)You were angry, for we sinned,
We continued in ^[a]our sins for a long time;
Yet shall we be saved?
⁶ For all of us have become like one who is ^(G)unclean,
And all our ^(H)righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us ^(I)wither like a leaf,
And our ^(J)wrongdoings, like the wind, take us away.
