16 “O Lord, ^paccording to all your righteous acts, let your anger and your wrath turn away from your city Jerusalem, ^qyour holy hill, ^rbecause for our sins, and for ^sthe iniquities of our fathers, ^tJerusalem and your people have become ^ua byword among all who are around us. 17 Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy, and for your own sake, O Lord, ^{▼▼Hebrew for the Lord’s sake} ^wmake your face to shine upon ^xyour sanctuary, which is desolate. 18 ^yO my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see ^zour desolations, and ^aathe city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy. 19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. ^abDelay not, ^acfor your own sake, O my God, because ^adyour city and ^aeyour people are called by your name.”
