²⁰ We acknowledge^(A) our wickedness, Lord,
    and the guilt of our ancestors;^(B)
    we have indeed sinned^(C) against you.
²¹ For the sake of your name^(D) do not despise us;
    do not dishonor your glorious throne.^(E)
Remember your covenant^(F) with us
    and do not break it.
²² Do any of the worthless idols^(G) of the nations bring rain?^(H)
    Do the skies themselves send down showers?
No, it is you, Lord our God.
    Therefore our hope is in you,
    for you are the one who does all this.^(I)
