89 Lord of Israel, you are faithful; you have allowed us to survive.

1 Esdras 8:89 In-Context

87 and have allowed us to survive. But we have rebelled again, broken your Law, and intermarried with these wicked people.

88 Yet you were not angry enough to destroy us completely and leave none of us alive, with no descendants and without our name.

89 Lord of Israel, you are faithful; you have allowed us to survive.

90 We confess our guilt to you; we have no right to come into your presence."

91 While Ezra was bowing in prayer in front of the Temple, weeping and confessing these sins, a large group of people from Jerusalem - men, women, and children - gathered around him, all of them weeping bitterly.
