Daniel 9:4-19

4I prayedH6419 to the LordH3068 my GodH430 and confessedH3034 and saidH559, “AlasH577, O LordH136, the 1greatH1419 and awesomeH3372 GodH410, who 2keepsH8104 His covenantH1285 and lovingkindnessH2617 for those who loveH157 Him and keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687, 53we have sinnedH2398, committedH5753 iniquityH5753, actedH7561 wickedlyH7561 and 4rebelledH4775, even 5turningH5493 asideH5493 from Your commandmentsH4687 and ordinancesH4941. 6Moreover, we have not 6listenedH8085 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“7RighteousnessH6666 belongs to You, O LordH136, but to us 89openH6440 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 10allH3605 the countriesH776 to whichH834 You have drivenH5080 them, because of their unfaithfulH4604 deedsH4604 whichH834 they have committedH4603 against You. 811OpenH6440 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 12compassionH7356 and forgivenessH5547, 13for we have 14rebelledH4775 against Him; 10norH3808 have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 our GodH430, to walkH1980 in His 15teachingsH8451 whichH834 He 16setH5414 beforeH6440 us throughH3027 His servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. 11Indeed 17allH3605 IsraelH3478 has transgressedH5674 Your lawH8451 and turnedH5493 asideH5493, not obeyingH8085 Your voiceH6963; so the 18curseH423 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 19confirmedH6965 His wordsH1697 whichH834 He had spokenH1696 againstH5921 us and againstH5921 our 2021rulersH8199 whoH834 ruledH8199 us, to bringH935 on us greatH1419 calamityH7463; for underH8478 the wholeH3605 heavenH8064 there has 22not been doneH6213 anything like whatH3512 was doneH6213 to JerusalemH3389. 13As it is writtenH3789 in the 23lawH8451 of MosesH4872, allH3605 thisH2088 calamityH7463 has comeH935 on us; yet we have 24not 25soughtH2470 the favorH2470H6440 of the LordH3068 our GodH430 by 26turningH7725 from our iniquityH5771 and 27givingH7919 attentionH7919 to Your truthH571. 14Therefore the LordH3068 has 2829keptH8245 the calamityH7463 in storeH8245 and broughtH935 it on us; for the LordH3068 our GodH430 is 30righteousH6662 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 31broughtH3318 Your peopleH5971 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027 and have 32madeH6213 a nameH8034 for Yourself, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117--we have sinnedH2398, we have beenH7561 wickedH7561. 16O LordH136, in accordance with allH3605 Your 33righteousH6666 actsH6666, let nowH4994 Your 34angerH639 and Your wrathH2534 turnH7725 awayH7725 from Your cityH5892 JerusalemH3389, Your 35holyH6944 mountainH2022; for becauseH3588 of our sinsH2399 and the iniquitiesH5771 of our fathersH1, JerusalemH3389 and Your peopleH5971 have become a 36reproachH2781 to allH3605 those aroundH5439 us. 17So nowH6258, our GodH430, listenH8085 to the prayerH8605 of Your servantH5650 and to his supplicationsH8469, and for 37Your sakeH4616, O LordH136, 38let Your faceH6440 shineH215 on Your 39desolateH8076 sanctuaryH4720. 18O my GodH430, 40inclineH5186 Your earH241 and hearH8085! OpenH6491 Your eyesH5869 and 41seeH7200 our desolationsH8074 and the cityH5892 whichH834 is 42calledH7121 by Your nameH8034; for we are not 4344presentingH5307 our supplicationsH8469 beforeH6440 You on accountH5921 of 45any 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, 46do not delayH309, becauseH3588 Your cityH5892 and Your peopleH5971 are calledH7121 by Your nameH8034.”
