Daniel 9:2

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.
