Daniel 9:15-19

15“And now, Lord, our God, You who 1brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and 2made a name for Yourself, as it is this day--we have sinned, we have been wicked. 16Lord, in accordance with all Your 3righteous acts, let now Your 4anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your 5holy mountain; for because of our sins and the wrongdoings of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become an 6object of taunting to all those around us. 17So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his pleas, and for 7Your sake, Lord, 8let Your face shine on Your 9desolate sanctuary. 18My God, 10incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and 11see our desolations and the city which is 12called by Your name; for we are not 13 14presenting our pleas before You based on 15any merits of our own, but based on Your great compassion. 19Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, my God, 16do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”
