4 Since ◄long ago/the world began►, no one [SYN] has ever seen or heard about a God like you;
you help those who ◄depend on/trust in► you.
5 You help those who joyfully do what is right,
those who conduct their lives as you want them to.
But we did not do that; we continued to sin,
and so you became angry with us.
We have been sinning for a long time,
so only if we continually do what you want us to do will we be saved.
