Daniel 9:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 O Lord, according to all thy [a]righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy wrath be turned away from thy city Jerusalem thine holy Mountain: because of our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are a reproach to all that are about us.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to [b]shine upon thy Sanctuary, that lieth waste for the [c]Lord’s sake.
18 O my God, incline thine ear and hear: open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city whereupon thy Name is called: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our own [d]righteousness, but for thy great tender mercies.
