Daniel’s Prayer for His People

In the first^H259 year^H8141 of Darius^H1867 the son^H1121 of Ahasuerus^H325, of Median^H4074 descent^H2233, who^H834 was made^H4427 king^H4427 over^H5921 the kingdom^H4438 of the Chaldeans^H3778—

Dan 9:2

Dan 9:2in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, observed in the books the number of the years which was revealed as the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.

Dan 9:3

Dan 9:3So I gave my [fn]attention to the Lord God, to seek Him by prayer and pleading, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.

Dan 9:4

Dan 9:4I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed, and said, “Oh, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and faithfulness for those who love Him and keep His commandments,

Dan 9:5

Dan 9:5we have sinned, we have done wrong, and [fn]acted wickedly and rebelled, even turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances.

Dan 9:6

Dan 9:6“Moreover, we have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our leaders, our fathers, and all the people of the land.

Dan 9:7

“Righteousness^H6666 belongs to You, Lord^H136, but to us [fn]open^H6440 shame^H1322, as it is this^H2088 day^H3117—to the men^H376 of Judah^H3063, the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, and all^H3605 Israel^H3478, those who are nearby^H7138 and those who are far^H7350 away in all^H3605 the countries^H776 to which^H834 You have driven^H5080 them, because of their unfaithful^H4603^H4604 deeds^H4604 which^H834 they have committed^H4603 against You.

Dan 9:8

Dan 9:8“[fn]Open shame belongs to us, LORD, to our kings, our leaders, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.

Dan 9:9

Dan 9:9“To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, [fn]because we have rebelled against Him;

Dan 9:10

Dan 9:10and we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His [fn]teachings which He set before us through His servants the prophets.

Dan 9:11

Dan 9:11“Indeed, all Israel has violated Your Law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse has gushed forth on us, along with the oath which is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.

Dan 9:12

Dan 9:12“So He has confirmed His words which He had spoken against us and against our [fn]rulers who ruled us, to bring on us great disaster; for under the entire heaven there has not been done anything like what was done in Jerusalem.

Dan 9:13

Dan 9:13“Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us; yet we have not [fn]sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our wrongdoing and [fn]giving attention to Your truth.

Dan 9:14

Dan 9:14“So the LORD has [fn]kept the disaster in store and brought it on us; for the LORD our God is righteous with respect to all His deeds which He has done, but we have not obeyed His voice.

Dan 9:15

“And now^H6258, Lord^H136, our God^H430, You who^H834 brought^H3318 Your people^H5971 out^H3318 of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 with a mighty^H2389 hand^H3027 and made^H6213 a name^H8034 for Yourself, as it is this^H2088 day^H3117—we have sinned^H2398, we have been^H7561 wicked^H7561.

Dan 9:16

Dan 9:16“Lord, in accordance with all Your [fn]righteous acts, let now Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the wrongdoings of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become an object of taunting to all those around us.

Dan 9:17

Dan 9:17“So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his pleas, and for [fn]Your sake, Lord, let Your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary.

Dan 9:18

Dan 9:18“My God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not [fn]presenting our pleas before You based on [fn]any merits of our own, but based on Your great compassion.

Dan 9:19

Dan 9:19“Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”

Gabriel Brings an Answer

Dan 9:20

While I was still^H5750 speaking^H1696 and praying^H6419, and confessing^H3034 my sin^H2403 and the sin^H2403 of my people^H5971 Israel^H3478, and [fn]presenting^H5307 my plea^H8467 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068 my God^H430 in^H5921 behalf^H5921 of^H5921 the holy^H6944 mountain^H2022 of my God^H430,

Dan 9:21

Dan 9:21while I was still speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision [fn]previously, [fn]came to me [fn]in my extreme weariness about the time of the evening offering.

Dan 9:22

Dan 9:22And he instructed me and talked with me and said, “Daniel, I have come now to give you insight with understanding.

Dan 9:23

Dan 9:23“At the beginning of your pleas the [fn]command was issued, and I have come to tell you, because you are [fn]highly esteemed; so pay attention to the message and gain understanding of the vision.

Seventy Weeks and the Messiah

Dan 9:24

“Seventy^H7657 [fn]weeks^H7620 have been decreed^H2852 for your people^H5971 and your holy^H6944 city^H5892, to [fn]finish^H3615 the wrongdoing^H6588, to [fn]make^H8552 an^H8552 end^H8552 of^H8552 sin^H2403, to make^H3722 atonement^H3722 for guilt^H5771, to bring^H935 in^H935 everlasting^H5769 righteousness^H6664, to seal^H2856 up^H2856 vision^H2377 and [fn]prophecy^H5030, and to anoint^H4886 the Most^H6944 Holy^H6944 Place^H6944.

Dan 9:25

Dan 9:25“So you are to know and understand that from the issuing of a [fn]decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until [fn]Messiah the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with [fn]streets and moat, even in times of distress.

Dan 9:26

Dan 9:26“Then after the sixty-two weeks, the [fn]Messiah will be cut off and have [fn]nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And [fn]its end will come with a flood; even to the end [fn]there will be war; desolations are determined.

Dan 9:27

Dan 9:27“And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of [fn]abominations will come the one who [fn]makes desolate, until a complete destruction, one that is [fn]decreed, gushes forth on the one who [fn]makes desolate.”
