For our iniquities have increased, until they are higher than our heads, and our guilt has risen as high as heaven. Bless the Lord of justice and extol the King of the ages. Sinners, return to him; let your conduct be upright before him; perhaps he will be gracious to you and take pity on you. 7 I for my part extol God and my soul rejoices in the King of heaven. Let his greatness8 be on every tongue, his praises be sung in Jerusalem.
