O Lord, the great and amazing God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love and obey you, we have sinned and have committed iniquity and have done wickedly and have rebelled by departing from your precepts and from your judgments.
O Lord, righteousness belongs to you but to us shame of
faces because of our sins that we have sinned against you. O Lord, to us belongs shame of face...to our leaders, to our officials, and to our elders, because we have sinned against you.
To you belong mercies and forgivenesses though we have
rebelled against you. We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God to walk in your ways. All this evil is come upon us, yet we made not our prayer before you that we might turn from our sins and understand your truth. Because of this, have you watched upon the evil and brought it upon us
for you are righteous in all your works which you do, and we obeyed
not your voice.
And now, O Lord God, we
have sinned. We have done wickedly.
O Lord, according to all your righteousness, we plead with you to let your anger and your fury be turned away from us. Because for our sins and for our iniquities we have become a reproach to all that are about us. Now O God, hear the prayer of your servants and their supplications and cause your face to shine upon us.
O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and look upon our
distresses, for we do not present our
supplications before you because of our righteousnesses, but because of your great mercies.
O Lord, hear. O Lord, forgive.
O Lord hear us, and do not delay. O my God, have mercy upon us.
