Dan 9:7-19 | ESV | STEP | To you, O Lord , belongs righteousness , but to us open shame , as at this day , to the men of Judah , to the inhabitants of Jerusalem , and to all Israel , those who are near and those who are far away , in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of the treachery that they have committed against you.

7 To you, ^aO Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, ^bthose who are near and ^cthose who are far away, in ^dall the lands to which you have driven them, because of ^ethe treachery that they have committed against you. 8 To us, O Lord, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because ^fwe have sinned against you. 9 ^gTo the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him 10 ^hand have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by ⁱhis servants the prophets. 11 ^jAll Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, ^krefusing to obey your voice. ^lAnd the curse and oath ^mthat are written in the Law of ⁿMoses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because ^owe have sinned against him. 12 He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against ^pour rulers who ruled us, ^{▼▼Or our judges who judged us} by ^rbringing upon us a great calamity. ^sFor under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem. 13 ^tAs it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord our God, ^uturning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth. 14 ^vTherefore the Lord has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us, ^wfor the Lord our God is righteous in all the works that he has done, and ^xwe have not obeyed his voice. 15 And now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt ^ywith a mighty hand, and ^zhave made a name for yourself, as at this day, ^aawe have sinned, we have done wickedly.

16 “O Lord, ^abaccording to all your righteous acts, let your anger and your wrath turn away from your city Jerusalem, ^acyour holy hill, ^adbecause for our sins, and for ^aethe iniquities of our fathers, ^afJerusalem and your people have become ^aga 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} ^aimake your face to shine upon ^ajyour sanctuary, which is desolate. 18 ^akO my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see ^alour desolations, and ^amthe 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. ^anDelay not, ^aofor your own sake, O my God, because ^apyour city and ^aqyour people are called by your name.”
