Daniel 9:8-18

8 1OpenH6440 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 2compassionH7356 and forgivenessH5547, 3for we have 4rebelledH4775 against Him; 10norH3808 have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 our GodH430, to walkH1980 in His 5teachingsH8451 whichH834 He 6setH5414 beforeH6440 us throughH3027 His servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. 11Indeed 7allH3605 IsraelH3478 has transgressedH5674 Your lawH8451 and turnedH5493 asideH5493, not obeyingH8085 Your voiceH6963; so the 8curseH423 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 9confirmedH6965 His wordsH1697 whichH834 He had spokenH1696 againstH5921 us and againstH5921 our 10 11rulersH8199 whoH834 ruledH8199 us, to bringH935 on us greatH1419 calamityH7463; for underH8478 the wholeH3605 heavenH8064 there has 12not been doneH6213 anything like whatH3512 was doneH6213 to JerusalemH3389. 13As it is writtenH3789 in the 13lawH8451 of MosesH4872, allH3605 thisH2088 calamityH7463 has comeH935 on us; yet we have 14not 15soughtH2470 the favorH2470 H6440 of the LordH3068 our GodH430 by 16turningH7725 from our iniquityH5771 and 17givingH7919 attentionH7919 to Your truthH571. 14Therefore the LordH3068 has 18 19keptH8245 the calamityH7463 in storeH8245 and broughtH935 it on us; for the LordH3068 our GodH430 is 20righteousH6662 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 21broughtH3318 Your peopleH5971 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027 and have 22madeH6213 a nameH8034 for Yourself, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117--we have sinnedH2398, we have beenH7561 wickedH7561. 16O LordH136, in accordance with allH3605 Your 23righteousH6666 actsH6666, let nowH4994 Your 24angerH639 and Your wrathH2534 turnH7725 awayH7725 from Your cityH5892 JerusalemH3389, Your 25holyH6944 mountainH2022; for becauseH3588 of our sinsH2399 and the iniquitiesH5771 of our fathersH1, JerusalemH3389 and Your peopleH5971 have become a 26reproachH2781 to allH3605 those aroundH5439 us. 17So nowH6258, our GodH430, listenH8085 to the prayerH8605 of Your servantH5650 and to his supplicationsH8469, and for 27Your sakeH4616, O LordH136, 28let Your faceH6440 shineH215 on Your 29desolateH8076 sanctuaryH4720. 18O my GodH430, 30inclineH5186 Your earH241 and hearH8085! OpenH6491 Your eyesH5869 and 31seeH7200 our desolationsH8074 and the cityH5892 whichH834 is 32calledH7121 by Your nameH8034; for we are not 33 34presentingH5307 our supplicationsH8469 beforeH6440 You on accountH5921 of 35any meritsH6666 of our own, but on accountH5921 of Your greatH7227 compassionH7356.
