Prayer of Azariah 1:13-21
-
13 To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that thou wouldest multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that lieth upon the seashore.
-
14 For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.
-
15 Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to sacrifice before thee, and to find mercy.
-
16 Nevertheless in a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted.
-
17 Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee.
-
18 And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear thee, and seek thy face.
-
19 Put us not to shame: but deal with us after thy lovingkindness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.
-
20 Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord: and let all them that do thy servants hurt be ashamed;
-
21 And let them be confounded in all their power and might, and let their strength be broken;
