Daniel 9:2-4

Names of God Bible

² In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, learned from the Scriptures the number of years that Jerusalem would remain in ruins. Yahweh had told the prophet Jeremiah that Jerusalem would remain in ruins for 70 years. ³ So I turned to Adonay Elohim and looked to him for help. I prayed, pleaded, and fasted in sackcloth and ashes.

⁴ I prayed to Yahweh my Elohim. I confessed and said, “Adonay, you are great and deserve respect as the only God. You keep your promise^[a] and show mercy to those who love you and obey your commandments.
