9
You have handed us over to our enemies, lawless and hateful rebels, and to an unjust king, the most wicked in all the world.
10
And now we cannot open our mouths; we, your servants who worship you, have become a shame and a reproach.
11
For your name's sake do not give us up forever, and do not annul your covenant.
12
Do not withdraw your mercy from us, for the sake of Abraham your beloved and for the sake of your servant Isaac and Israel your holy one,
13
to whom you promised to multiply their descendants like the stars of heaven and like the sand on the shore of the sea.
