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 gaveH5414 my 3attentionH6440 to the LordH136 GodH430, to seekH1245 Him by prayerH8605 and pleadingH8469, with fastingH6685, sackclothH8242, and ashesH665. 4I prayedH6419 to the LordH3068 my GodH430 and confessedH3034, and saidH559, “OhH577, LordH136, the 4greatH1419 and awesomeH3372 GodH410, who 5keepsH8104 His covenantH1285 and faithfulnessH2617 for those who loveH157 Him and keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687, 56we have sinnedH2398, we have doneH5753 wrongH5753, and 7actedH7561 wickedlyH7561 and 8rebelledH4775, even 9turningH5493 asideH5493 from Your commandmentsH4687 and ordinancesH4941. 6Moreover, we have not 10listenedH8085 to Your servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, whoH834 spokeH1696 in Your nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our leadersH8269, our fathersH1, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776.

7“11RighteousnessH6666 belongs to You, LordH136, but to us 1213openH6440 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 14allH3605 the countriesH776 to whichH834 You have drivenH5080 them, because of their unfaithfulH4603H4604 deedsH4604 whichH834 they have committedH4603 against You. 815OpenH6440 shameH1322 belongs to us, Lord, to our kingsH4428, our leadersH8269, and our fathersH1, becauseH834 we have sinnedH2398 against You. 9To the LordH136 our GodH430 belong 16compassionH7356 and forgivenessH5547, 17becauseH3588 we have 18rebelledH4775 against Him; 10and we have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 our GodH430, to walkH1980 in His 19teachingsH8451 whichH834 He 20setH5414 beforeH6440 us throughH3027 His servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. 11Indeed, 21allH3605 IsraelH3478 has violatedH5674 Your LawH8451 and turnedH5493 asideH5493, not obeyingH8085 Your voiceH6963; so the 22curseH423 has gushedH5413 forthH5413 on us, along with the oathH7621 whichH834 is writtenH3789 in the LawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, becauseH3588 we have sinnedH2398 against Him. 12So He has 23confirmedH6965 His wordsH1697 whichH834 He had spokenH1696 againstH5921 us and againstH5921 our 2425rulersH8199 whoH834 ruledH8199 us, to bringH935 on us greatH1419 disasterH7463; for underH8478 the entireH3605 heavenH8064 there has 26not been doneH6213 anything like whatH3512 was doneH6213 in JerusalemH3389. 13JustH3512 asH3512 it is writtenH3789 in the 27LawH8451 of MosesH4872, allH3605 thisH2088 disasterH7463 has comeH935 on us; yet we have 28not 29soughtH2470 the favorH6440 of the LordH3068 our GodH430 by 30turningH7725 from our wrongdoingH5771 and 31givingH7919 attentionH7919 to Your truthH571. 14So the LordH3068 has 3233keptH8245 the disasterH7463 inH8245 storeH8245 and broughtH935 it on us; for the LordH3068 our GodH430 is 34righteousH6662 with respectH5921 to allH3605 His deedsH4639 whichH834 He has doneH6213, but we have not obeyedH8085 His voiceH6963.

15“And nowH6258, LordH136, our GodH430, You whoH834 35broughtH3318 Your peopleH5971 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027 and 36madeH6213 a nameH8034 for Yourself, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117--we have sinnedH2398, we have beenH7561 wickedH7561. 16LordH136, in accordance with allH3605 Your 37righteousH6666 actsH6666, let nowH4994 Your 38angerH639 and Your wrathH2534 turnH7725 awayH7725 from Your cityH5892 JerusalemH3389, Your 39holyH6944 mountainH2022; for because of our sinsH2399 and the wrongdoingsH5771 of our fathersH1, JerusalemH3389 and Your peopleH5971 have become an 40objectH2781 ofH2781 tauntingH2781 to allH3605 those aroundH5439 us. 17So nowH6258, our GodH430, listenH8085 to the prayerH8605 of Your servantH5650 and to his pleasH8469, and for 41Your sakeH4616, LordH136, 42let Your faceH6440 shineH215 on Your 43desolateH8076 sanctuaryH4720. 18My GodH430, 44inclineH5186 Your earH241 and hearH8085! OpenH6491 Your eyesH5869 and 45seeH7200 our desolationsH8074 and the cityH5892 whichH834 is 46calledH7121 by Your nameH8034; for we are not 4748presentingH5307 our pleasH8469 beforeH6440 You basedH5921 on 49any meritsH6666 of our own, but basedH5921 on Your greatH7227 compassionH7356. 19LordH136, hearH8085! LordH136, forgiveH5545! LordH136, listenH7181 and takeH6213 actionH6213! For Your own sakeH4616, my GodH430, 50do not delayH309, becauseH3588 Your cityH5892 and Your peopleH5971 are calledH7121 by Your nameH8034.”

20While I was stillH5750 51speakingH1696 and prayingH6419, and 52confessingH3034 my sinH2403 and the sinH2403 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and 53presentingH5307 my pleaH8467 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 my GodH430 inH5921 behalfH5921 ofH5921 the holyH6944 mountainH2022 of my GodH430,
