Daniel 9:2-20

2in the firstH259 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, I, DanielH1840, observedH995 in the booksH5612 the numberH4557 of the yearsH8141 whichH834 was revealed as the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 to 1JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 for the completionH4390 of the desolationsH2723 of JerusalemH3389, namely, 2seventyH7657 yearsH8141. 3So I 3gaveH5414 my attentionH6440 to the LordH136 GodH430 to seekH1245 Him by prayerH8605 and supplicationsH8469, with fastingH6685, sackclothH8242 and ashesH665. 4I prayedH6419 to the LordH3068 my GodH430 and confessedH3034 and saidH559, “AlasH577, O LordH136, the 4greatH1419 and awesomeH3372 GodH410, who 5keepsH8104 His covenantH1285 and lovingkindnessH2617 for those who loveH157 Him and keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687, 56we have sinnedH2398, committedH5753 iniquityH5753, actedH7561 wickedlyH7561 and 7rebelledH4775, even 8turningH5493 asideH5493 from Your commandmentsH4687 and ordinancesH4941. 6Moreover, we have not 9listenedH8085 to Your servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, whoH834 spokeH1696 in Your nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, our fathersH1 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776.

7“10RighteousnessH6666 belongs to You, O LordH136, but to us 1112openH6440 shameH1322, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117--to the menH376 of JudahH3063, the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 and allH3605 IsraelH3478, those who are nearbyH7138 and those who are farH7350 away in 13allH3605 the countriesH776 to whichH834 You have drivenH5080 them, because of their unfaithfulH4604 deedsH4604 whichH834 they have committedH4603 against You. 814OpenH6440 shameH1322 belongs to us, O LordH3068, to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269 and our fathersH1, becauseH834 we have sinnedH2398 against You. 9To the LordH136 our GodH430 belong 15compassionH7356 and forgivenessH5547, 16for we have 17rebelledH4775 against Him; 10norH3808 have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 our GodH430, to walkH1980 in His 18teachingsH8451 whichH834 He 19setH5414 beforeH6440 us throughH3027 His servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. 11Indeed 20allH3605 IsraelH3478 has transgressedH5674 Your lawH8451 and turnedH5493 asideH5493, not obeyingH8085 Your voiceH6963; so the 21curseH423 has been pouredH5413 out on us, along with the oathH7621 whichH834 is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, for we have sinnedH2398 against Him. 12Thus He has 22confirmedH6965 His wordsH1697 whichH834 He had spokenH1696 againstH5921 us and againstH5921 our 2324rulersH8199 whoH834 ruledH8199 us, to bringH935 on us greatH1419 calamityH7463; for underH8478 the wholeH3605 heavenH8064 there has 25not been doneH6213 anything like whatH3512 was doneH6213 to JerusalemH3389. 13As it is writtenH3789 in the 26lawH8451 of MosesH4872, allH3605 thisH2088 calamityH7463 has comeH935 on us; yet we have 27not 28soughtH2470 the favorH2470H6440 of the LordH3068 our GodH430 by 29turningH7725 from our iniquityH5771 and 30givingH7919 attentionH7919 to Your truthH571. 14Therefore the LordH3068 has 3132keptH8245 the calamityH7463 in storeH8245 and broughtH935 it on us; for the LordH3068 our GodH430 is 33righteousH6662 with respectH5921 to allH3605 His deedsH4639 whichH834 He has doneH6213, but we have not obeyedH8085 His voiceH6963.

15“And nowH6258, O LordH136 our GodH430, whoH834 have 34broughtH3318 Your peopleH5971 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027 and have 35madeH6213 a nameH8034 for Yourself, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117--we have sinnedH2398, we have beenH7561 wickedH7561. 16O LordH136, in accordance with allH3605 Your 36righteousH6666 actsH6666, let nowH4994 Your 37angerH639 and Your wrathH2534 turnH7725 awayH7725 from Your cityH5892 JerusalemH3389, Your 38holyH6944 mountainH2022; for becauseH3588 of our sinsH2399 and the iniquitiesH5771 of our fathersH1, JerusalemH3389 and Your peopleH5971 have become a 39reproachH2781 to allH3605 those aroundH5439 us. 17So nowH6258, our GodH430, listenH8085 to the prayerH8605 of Your servantH5650 and to his supplicationsH8469, and for 40Your sakeH4616, O LordH136, 41let Your faceH6440 shineH215 on Your 42desolateH8076 sanctuaryH4720. 18O my GodH430, 43inclineH5186 Your earH241 and hearH8085! OpenH6491 Your eyesH5869 and 44seeH7200 our desolationsH8074 and the cityH5892 whichH834 is 45calledH7121 by Your nameH8034; for we are not 4647presentingH5307 our supplicationsH8469 beforeH6440 You on accountH5921 of 48any meritsH6666 of our own, but on accountH5921 of Your greatH7227 compassionH7356. 19O LordH136, hearH8085! O LordH136, forgiveH5545! O LordH136, listenH7181 and takeH6213 actionH6213! For Your own sakeH4616, O my GodH430, 49do not delayH309, becauseH3588 Your cityH5892 and Your peopleH5971 are calledH7121 by Your nameH8034.”

20Now whileH5750 I was 50speakingH1696 and prayingH6419, and 51confessingH3034 my sinH2403 and the sinH2403 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and 52presentingH5307 my supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 my GodH430 in behalfH5921 of the holyH6944 mountainH2022 of my GodH430,
