Daniel 9:3

Daniel's Prayer For His People

² in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived by the writings, - the number of the years, as to which the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah the prophet, to fulfil the desolations of Jerusalem, seventy years. ³ So I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek him by prayer, and supplication, - with fasting, and sackcloth and ashes; ⁴ yea I prayed unto Yahweh my God, and made confession, - and said - I beseech thee, O Lord, the GOD great and to be revered, keeping the covenant and the lovingkindness, to them who love him, and to them who keep his commandments.
