Daniel 9:7-9

New English Translation

⁷ “You are righteous,^[a] O Lord, but we are humiliated this day^[b]—the people^[c] of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far away in all the countries in which you have scattered them, because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you. ⁸ O Lord, we have been humiliated^[d]—our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors—because we have sinned against you. ⁹ Yet the Lord our God is compassionate and forgiving,^[e] even though we have rebelled against him.
