But you were angry, and we sinned; because you hid yourself we transgressed. We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy cloth.” Isaiah says: “for you have hidden your face from us, and have delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.”
Deliver us, oh Lord, from the trials and tribulations we have placed upon ourselves. Free us from this burden which we eagerly and freely picked up, for it is too great for us to bear. Deliver us from ourselves in words, actions, and deeds.
