Daniel 9:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ “O Lord, according to all your righteousness, I beg you, let your anger and your wrath be turned away from your city, Jerusalem, your holy Mountain. Because of our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are a reproach to all that are around us.

¹⁷ “Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of your servant, and his supplications. And for the Lord’s sake, cause your face to shine upon your Sanctuary, which lies in ruins.

¹⁸ “O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city whereupon your Name is called. For we do not present our supplications before you for our own righteousness, but for your great tender mercies.
