⁴ I prayed to the Lord my God and ^(A)made confession, saying, ^(B)“O Lord, the ^(C)great and awesome God, who ^(D)keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, ^5 (E)we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly ^(F)and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. ^6 (G)We have not listened to ^(H)your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to ^(I)our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. ⁷ To you, ^(J)O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, ^(K)those who are near and ^(L)those who are far away, in ^(M)all the lands to which you have driven them, because of ^(N)the treachery that they have committed against you. ⁸ To us, O Lord, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because ^(O)we have sinned against you. ^9 (P)To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him ^10 (Q)and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by ^(R)his servants the prophets.
