Daniel’s Prayer for the People

1 In the first year aof Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the lineage of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans—  
2 in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the Lord through aJeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.  
3 aThen I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.  
4 And I prayed to the Lord my God, and made confession, and said, “O aLord, great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments,  
5 awe have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments.  
6 aNeither have we heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings and our princes, to our fathers and all the people of the land.  
7 O Lord, arighteousness belongs to You, but to us shame of face, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and those far off in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of the unfaithfulness which they have committed against You.  
8 “O Lord, to us belongs shame of face, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.
9 aTo the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him.  
10 We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.
11 Yes, aall Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the bLaw of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him.
