Daniel 9:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ “Lord, ·you are good and right [^Lto you is righteousness], but ·we are full of shame [^Lto us is shame of face] today—the people of Judah and Jerusalem, all the people of Israel, those near and far whom you ·scattered [drove away] among many nations because they were ·not loyal [treacherous] to you. ⁸ Lord, ·we are all ashamed [^Lto us is shame of face]. Our kings and ·leaders [princes] and our ·fathers [ancestors] are ·ashamed [shame-faced], because we have ·sinned against [or failed] you.

⁹ “But, Lord our God, you ·show us mercy [have compassion] and forgive us even though we have ·turned [rebelled] against you.
