Now may the Lord show lovingkindness and truth and faithfulness to you. I too will show this goodness to you, because you have done this thing.

Now God granted Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the commander of the officials,

So that they might observe His precepts
And keep His laws [obediently accepting and honoring and valuing them].

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His mercy and lovingkindness endure forever!

And shows lovingkindness to His anointed,
To David and his offspring forever.”

O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and look at our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You because of our own merits and righteousness, but because of Your great mercy and compassion.

He has made His wonderful acts to be remembered;
The Lord is gracious and merciful and full of loving compassion.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth and faithfulness.

Precious [and of great consequence] in the sight of the Lord

Deal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word [treasuring it and being guided by it day by day].

Vav.
May Your lovingkindness also come to me, O Lord,

Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to tread out the grain,
But I will come over her fair neck with a heavy yoke [for hard field work].
I will harness Ephraim;
Judah will plow and Jacob will harrow and rake for himself.

Sow with a view to righteousness [that righteousness, like seed, may germinate];
Reap in accordance with mercy and lovingkindness.
Break up your uncultivated ground,
For it is time to seek and search diligently for the Lord [and to long for His blessing]
Until He comes to rain righteousness and His gift of salvation on you.

Rip your heart to pieces [in sorrow and contrition] and not your garments.”
Now return [in repentance] to the Lord your God,
For He is gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness [faithful to His covenant with His people];
And He relents [His sentence of] evil [when His people genuinely repent].

“Those who regard and follow worthless idols
Turn away from their [living source of] mercy and lovingkindness.

That I may keep Your word.

That I will keep Your righteous ordinances.

Leave me, you evildoers,
That I may keep the commandments of my God [honoring and obeying them].

Deal with Your servant according to Your [gracious] lovingkindness,
And teach me Your statutes.

Pe.
Your testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore my soul keeps them.

Redeem me from the oppression of man;
That I may keep Your precepts.

I cried to You; save me
And I will keep Your testimonies.

Great are Your tender mercies and steadfast love, O Lord;
Revive me and give me life according to Your ordinances.

I see the treacherous and loathe them,
Because they do not respect Your law.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
And as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He is gracious and favorable toward us.

Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious and favorable toward us,
For we are greatly filled with contempt.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is lovingkindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.

And passes over the rebellious acts of the remnant of His possession?

As You have sworn to our forefathers
From the days of old.

In your lovingkindness, silence and destroy my enemies
And destroy all those who afflict my life,
For I am Your servant.

“I will strengthen the house of Judah [making it superior],
And I will save the house of Joseph.
I will bring them back [and allow them to live securely],
Because I have had compassion on them.
They will be as though I had not rejected them,
For I am the Lord their God, and I will listen and answer them.

And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those wounds I received in the house of my friends.’

and said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless you repent [that is, change your inner self—your old way of thinking, live changed lives] and become like children [trusting, humble, and forgiving], you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And he upholds his throne by lovingkindness.

For His lovingkindness endures forever.

With them were Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen and designated by name, to give thanks to the Lord, for His lovingkindness endures forever.

Finds life, righteousness, and honor.
