20. We acknowledge, Lord, our wickedness,and the iniquity of our fathers;for we have sinned against you.
21. Do not abhor us, for your name’s sake.Do not disgrace the throne of your glory.Remember, and don’t break your covenant with us.
22. Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain?Or can the sky give showers?Aren’t you he, the Lord our God?Therefore we will wait for you;for you have made all these things.
