Daniel 9:3-5
9:3 So I turned my attention
to the Lord God
to implore him by prayer and requests, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.
9:4 I prayed to the
LORD my God, confessing in this way:
“O Lord, great and awesome God who is faithful to his covenant with those who love him and keep his commandments,
9:5 we have sinned! We have done what is wrong and wicked; we have rebelled by turning away from your commandments and standards.
