Daniel:9:5-19
Seeker Overlay ON
*
We have sinned ,
and have committed iniquity ,
and have done wickedly ,
and have rebelled ,
even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments :
*
Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets ,
which spake in thy name to our kings ,
our princes ,
and our fathers ,
and to all the people of the land .
*
O Lord ,
righteousness belongeth unto thee ,
but unto us confusion of faces ,
as at this day ;
to the men of Judah ,
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
and unto all Israel Yisra #
el #,
that are near ,
and that are far off ,
through all the countries whither thou hast driven them ,
because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee .
*
O Lord ,
to us belongeth confusion of face ,
to our kings ,
to our princes ,
and to our fathers ,
because we have sinned against thee .
*
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses ,
though we have rebelled against him ;
*
Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God ,
to walk in his laws ,
which he set before us by his servants the prophets .
*
Yea ,
all Israel have transgressed thy law ,
even by departing ,
that they might not obey thy voice ;
therefore the curse is poured upon us ,
and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God ,
because we have sinned against him .
*
And he hath confirmed his words ,
which he spake against us ,
and against our judges that judged us ,
by bringing upon us a great evil :
for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem .
*
As it is written in the law of Moses ,
all this evil is come upon us :
yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God ,
that we might turn from our iniquities ,
and understand thy truth .
*
Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil ,
and brought it upon us :
for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth :
for we obeyed not his voice .
*
And now ,
O Lord our God ,
that hast brought #
thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand ,
and hast gotten thee renown ,
as at this day ;
we have sinned ,
we have done wickedly .
*
O Lord ,
according to all thy righteousness ,
I beseech thee ,
let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem ,
thy holy mountain :
because for our sins ,
and for the iniquities of our fathers ,
Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us .
*
Now therefore ,
O our God ,
hear the prayer of thy servant ,
and his supplications ,
and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate ,
for the Lords sake .
*
O my God ,
incline thine ear ,
and hear ;
open thine eyes ,
and behold our desolations ,
and the city which is called by thy name :
for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses ,
but for thy great mercies .
*
O Lord ,
hear ;
O Lord ,
forgive ;
O Lord ,
hearken and do ;
defer not ,
for thine own sake ,
O my God :
for thy city and thy people are called by thy name .
