O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to you, my God, for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has mounted up to the heavens. But now for a brief moment favor has been shown by the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant and to give us a secure hold in his holy place.
