Daniel 9:4-11
4And I prayedH6419 to the LORDH3068 my GodH430 and confessedH3034H559, “OH577, LordH136, the greatH1419 and awesomeH3372 GodH410, who keepsH8104 His covenantH1285 of loving devotionH26171 to those who love HimH157 and keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687, 5we have sinnedH2398 and done wrongH5753. We have acted wickedlyH7561 and rebelledH4775. We have turned awayH5493 from Your commandmentsH4687 and ordinancesH4941. 6We have notH3808 listenedH8085 toH413 Your servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, whoH834 spokeH1696 in Your nameH8034 toH413 our kingsH4428, leadersH8269, fathersH1, andH413 allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
7To You, O LordH136, belongs righteousnessH6666, but thisH2088 dayH3117 we are coveredH6440 with shameH1322—the menH376 of JudahH3063, the peopleH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 nearH7138 and farH7350, in allH3605 the countriesH776 to whichH834 You have driven usH5080H8033 because of our unfaithfulnessH4604 to You. 8O LORDH3068, we are coveredH6440 with shameH1322—our kingsH4428, our leadersH8269, and our fathersH1—becauseH834 we have sinnedH2398 against You.
9To the LordH136 our GodH430 belong compassionH7356 and forgivenessH5547, even thoughH3588 we have rebelledH4775 against Him 10and have notH3808 obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 to walkH1980 in His lawsH8451, whichH834 He setH5414 before usH6440 throughH3027 His servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
11AllH3605 IsraelH3478 has transgressedH5674 Your lawH8451 and turned awayH5493, refusingH1115 to obeyH8085 Your voiceH6963; so the oathH423 and the curseH7621 writtenH3789 in the LawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430 has been poured outH5413 on usH5921, becauseH3588 we have sinnedH2398 against You.
