Daniel 9:4-20 And I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession and said, Lord, the God great and marvellous, who keepest thy covenant and thy mercy for them who love thee and keep thy commandments! We have sinned;

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession and said, Lord, the God great and marvellous, who keepest thy covenant and thy mercy for them who love thee and keep thy commandments! We have sinned; ⁵ we have committed iniquity; we have transgressed and apostatised and turned away from thy commandments, and from thy judgments, ⁶ and have not hearkened to thy servants the prophets who spoke in thy name to our kings and our chiefs and our fathers and to all the people of the land. ⁷ To thee, Lord, belongeth righteousness; but to us confusion of face as at this day; to the man Juda and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all Israel; and to those near and to them far off, in every land where thou hast scattered them for their breach of covenant of which they have been guilty. ⁸ In thee, Lord, is our righteousness. Though to us belongeth confusion of face; to our kings, and our chiefs and our fathers, who have sinned against thee: ⁹ with the Lord our God are tender mercies and forgivenesses. Because we apostatised ¹⁰ and did not hearken to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws which he set before us by the ministry of his servants the prophets; ¹¹ and all Israel transgressed thy law, and declined to hearken to thy voice; therefore upon us came the curse and the execration which is written in the law of Moses the servant of God. Because we sinned against him, ¹² therefore he confirmed his words which he spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us great evils, such as never happened under the whole heaven; as was the case in Jerusalem. ¹³ According to what is written in the law of Moses all those evils have come upon us. We indeed did not supplicate the favour of the Lord our God, by turning from all our wickedness, therefore that we might be made sensible of all thy truth, ¹⁴ the Lord hath indeed been watchful and hath brought upon us these things. For the Lord our God is righteous in every act of his which he hath done, and we have not hearkened to his voice. ¹⁵ Now, Lord our God, who broughtest thy people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand and who hast made thyself a great name as at this day; we have sinned, we have committed iniquity. ¹⁶ Mercy, Lord, is thine in all things; let thy wrath, I beseech thee, be turned away and thine indignation from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain. Because we have sinned, therefore for our iniquities and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become an object of reproach among all those around us. ¹⁷ But now, Lord our God, hearken to the prayer of thy servant and to his supplications; and let thy face shine upon thy sanctuary which is desolate. For thine own sake, Lord, ¹⁸ incline, my God, thine ear and hear. Open thine eyes and behold our desolation and that of thy city which is called by thy name. For we do not for our own righteousness present our piteous case before thee; but we cast ourselves upon thy tender mercies, Lord, which are many. ¹⁹ O Lord hear! O Lord, be appeased! Attend, Lord! Defer not, my God, for thine own sake! for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. ²⁰ Now whilst I was still speaking and praying and confessing mine own sins and the sins of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the mount of the sanctuary;
