41. When we lift our handsin prayer to God in heaven,we should offer him our heartsand say,
42. “We've sinned!We've rebelled against you,and you haven't forgiven us!
43. Anger is written all over you,as you pursue and slaughter uswithout showing pity.
44. You are behind a wall of cloudsthat blocks out our prayers.
45. You allowed nationsto treat us like rubbish;
46. our enemies curse us.
47. We are terrified and trapped,caught and crushed.”
