3
"Blessed are you, O Lord, God of our ancestors, and worthy of praise; and glorious is your name forever!
4
For you are just in all you have done; all your works are true and your ways right, and all your judgments are true.
5
You have executed true judgments in all you have brought upon us and upon Jerusalem, the holy city of our ancestors; by a true judgment you have brought all this upon us because of our sins.
6
For we have sinned and broken your law in turning away from you; in all matters we have sinned grievously.
7
We have not obeyed your commandments, we have not kept them or done what you have commanded us for our own good.
