3
"Blessed art thou, O Lord, God of our fathers, and worthy of praise; and thy name is glorified for ever.
4
For thou art just in all that thou hast done to us, and all thy works are true and thy ways right, and all thy judgments are truth.
5
Thou hast executed true judgments in all that thou hast brought upon us and upon Jerusalem, the holy city of our fathers, for in truth and justice thou hast brought all this upon us because of our sins.
6
For we have sinfully and lawlessly departed from thee, and have sinned in all things and have not obeyed thy commandments;
7
we have not observed them or done them, as thou hast commanded us that it might go well with us.
8
So all that thou hast brought upon us, and all that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment.
9
Thou hast given us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful rebels, and to an unjust king, the most wicked in all the world.
10
And now we cannot open our mouths; shame and disgrace have befallen thy servants and worshipers.
11
For thy name's sake do not give us up utterly, and do not break thy covenant,
12
and do not withdraw thy mercy from us, for the sake of Abraham thy beloved and for the sake of Isaac thy servant and Israel thy holy one,
13
to whom thou didst promise to make their descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the sand on the shore of the sea.
