1. And I was grieved and wept, and prayed in sorrow, saying,
2. O Lord, you are righteous, and all your works and all your ways are mercy and truth, and you judge true and righteous judgement for ever.
3. Remember me, and look on me; take not vengeance on me for my sins and mine ignorances, and the sins of my fathers, which sinned before you:
4. for they disobeyed your commandments; and you gave us for a spoil, and for captivity, and for death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we are dispersed.
5. And now many are your judgments, true are they; that you should deal with me according to my sins and the sins of my fathers: because we did not keep your commandments, for we walked not in truth before you.
