15 “And now, Lord, our God, You who (A)brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and (B)made a name for Yourself, as it is this day—we have sinned, we have been wicked. 16 Lord, in accordance with all Your [a]righteous acts, let now Your (C)anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your (D)holy mountain; for because of our sins and the wrongdoings of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become an (E)object of taunting to all those around us. 17 So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his pleas, and for [b]Your sake, Lord, (F)let Your face shine on Your (G)desolate sanctuary. 18 My God, (H)incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and (I)see our desolations and the city which is (J)called by Your name; for we are not [c](K)presenting our pleas before You based on [d]any merits of our own, but based on Your great compassion. 19 Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, my God, (L)do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”
