9Therefore ajusticeisfar from us,And righteousness does not overtake us;We bhope for light, but behold, darkness,For brightness, but we walk in thickdarkness.10We agrope along the wall like blindmen;We grope like those who havenoeyes;We bstumble at midday as in the twilight,Among those whoarevigorouswe areclike dead men.11All of us growl like bears,And amoansadly like doves;We hope for bjustice, but thereisnone,For salvation, but it isfar from us.
