- We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
- For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
- In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
- And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
- Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

- All of us growl like bears, And moan sadly like doves; We hope for justice, but there is none, For salvation, but it is far from us.
- For our transgressions are multiplied before You, And our sins testify against us; For our transgressions are with us, And we know our iniquities:
- Transgressing and denying the LORD, And turning away from our God, Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving in and uttering from the heart lying words.
- Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, And uprightness cannot enter.
- Yes, truth is lacking; And he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey Now the LORD saw, And it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice.
