5If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
elet my right hand forget its skill!
6Let my ftongue stick to the roof of my mouth,
if I do not remember you,

above my highest joy!

Daniel 9:2-3

2in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years that, according to gthe word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.

3Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by hprayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.

Daniel 9:16-19

16“O Lord, iaccording to all your righteous acts, let your anger and your wrath turn away from your city Jerusalem, jyour holy hill, kbecause for our sins, and for lthe iniquities of our fathers, mJerusalem and your people have become na byword among all who are around us. 17Now 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
pmake your face to shine upon qyour sanctuary, which is desolate.
18 rO my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see sour desolations, and tthe 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. 19O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. uDelay not, vfor your own sake, O my God, because wyour city and xyour people are called by your name.”
