"To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him." "O Lord, according to all Thy righteousness, I beseech Thee, let Thine anger 556 and Thy fury be turned away from Thy city Jerusalem, Thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.

Men hos Herren vor Gud er barmhjertighed og tilgivelse, thi vi stod ham imod." "Herre, lad dog efter alle dine retfærdshandlinger din vrede og harme vende sig fra din by Jerusalem, dit hellige bjerg; thi ved vore synder og vore fædres misgerninger er Jerusalem og dit folk blevet til spot for alle vore naboer.
