O MY GOD INCLINE THINE EAR AND HEAR OPEN THINE EYES AND BEHOLD OUR DESOLATIONS

Daniel 9:13-19 

 

AS IT IS WRITTEN IN 

THE LAW OF MOSES, 

ALL THIS EVIL IS COME UPON US: 

YET MADE WE NOT OUR 

PRAYER BEFORE THE LORD 

OUR GOD, THAT WE MIGHT 

TURN FROM OUR INIQUITIES, 

AND UNDERSTAND THY TRUTH. 

THEREFORE HATH 

THE LORD WATCHED UPON 

THE EVIL, AND BROUGHT 

IT UPON US: 

FOR 

THE LORD OUR GOD IS RIGHTEOUS 

IN ALL HIS WORKS WHICH HE DOETH: 

FOR WE OBEYED NOT HIS VOICE. 

AND NOW, O LORD OUR GOD, 

THAT HAST BROUGHT THY 

PEOPLE FORTH OUT OF 

THE LAND OF EGYPT 

WITH A MIGHTY HAND, 

AND HAST GOTTEN THEE RENOWN, 

AS AT THIS DAY; WE HAVE SINNED, 

WE HAVE DONE WICKEDLY. 

O LORD, ACCORDING TO ALL 

THY RIGHTEOUSNESS, 

I BESEECH THEE, 

LET THINE ANGER 

AND THY FURY BE TURNED 

AWAY FROM THY CITY JERUSALEM, 

THY HOLY MOUNTAIN: 

BECAUSE FOR OUR SINS, 

AND FOR THE INIQUITIES 

OF OUR FATHERS, JERUSALEM 

AND THY PEOPLE ARE BECOME 

A REPROACH TO ALL THAT ARE 

ABOUT US. 

NOW THEREFORE, 

O OUR GOD, HEAR THE 

PRAYER OF THY SERVANT, 

AND HIS SUPPLICATIONS, 

AND CAUSE THY FACE TO 

SHINE UPON THY SANCTUARY 

THAT IS DESOLATE, 

FOR THE LORD'S SAKE. 

O MY GOD, INCLINE THINE EAR, 

AND HEAR; OPEN THINE EYES, 

AND BEHOLD OUR DESOLATIONS, 

AND THE CITY WHICH IS CALLED 

BY THY NAME: FOR WE DO NOT 

PRESENT OUR SUPPLICATIONS 

BEFORE THEE FOR OUR 

RIGHTEOUSNESS, BUT FOR 

THY GREAT MERCIES.  

O LORD, 

HEAR; 

O LORD, FORGIVE; 

O LORD, 

HEARKEN AND DO; 

DEFER NOT, 

FOR THINE OWN SAKE, 

O MY GOD: 

FOR THY CITY AND THY PEOPLE 

ARE CALLED BY THY NAME.
