3 Holy Children’S Song 1:6-22 World English Bible (WEB)

6. For we have sinned and committed iniquity, in departing from you.

7. In all things have we trespassed, and not obeyed your commandments, nor kept them, neither done as you have commanded us, that it might go well with us.

8. Wherefore all that you have brought upon us, and everything that you have done to us, you have done in true judgement.

9. And you did deliver us into the hands of lawless enemies, and most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust king, and the most wicked in all the world.

10. And now we can’t open our mouth; shame and reproach have befallen your servants, and them that worship you.

11. Deliver us not up utterly, for your name’s sake, neither disannul you your covenant:

12. and cause not your mercy to depart from us, for the sake of Abraham that is beloved of you, and for the sake of Isaac your servant, and Israel your holy one;

13. to whom you did promise, that you would multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is upon the sea shore.

14. For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.

15. Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burned offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to offer before you, and to find mercy.

16. Nevertheless in a contrite heart and a humble spirit let us be accepted;

17. like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs; so let our sacrifice be in your sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after you, for they shall not be ashamed that put their trust in you.

18. And now we follow you with all our heart, we fear you, and seek your face. Put us not to shame: but deal with us after your kindness, and according to the multitude of your mercy.

20. Deliver us also according to your marvelous works, and give glory to your name, O Lord: and let all them that do your servants hurt be confounded;

21. and let them be ashamed of all their power and might, and let their strength be broken;

22. and let them know that you are the Lord, the only God, and glorious over the whole world.
