11. Now Lord God of Israel, you brought your people from Egypt by a powerful hand, by signs and wonders, with great power and an extended arm, and you have made your name famous to this very day.
12. Lord our God, we have sinned. We were ungodly. We have broken all of your commandments.
13. Turn your anger away from us, for only a few of us remain among the nations where you have scattered us.
14. Lord, listen to our prayer and our pleading. For your own sake, set us free and give us favor with those who have brought us into exile
15. so that all the earth might know that you are the Lord our God, since Israel and her children carry your name.
16. Lord, look down on us from your holy house and think of us. Lord, bend your ear and listen.
17. Lord, open your eyes and look upon us. Surely the dead who are in the grave, whose spirit has been taken from their bodies, won’t acknowledge the Lord’s glory and justice!
18. But Lord, the one who is grieved, who goes about weak and bent over, whose eyes are failing and whose spirit is hungering—that one will acknowledge your glory and righteousness.
