20 We acknowledge our wickedness, Lord,

and the guilt of our ancestors;

we have indeed sinned against you.

21 For the sake of your name do not despise us;

do not dishonor your glorious throne.

Remember your covenant with us

and do not break it.

22 Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain?

Do the skies themselves send down showers?

No, it is you, Lord our God.

Therefore our hope is in you,

for you are the one who does all this.

20 We acknowledge our wickedness, O Lord,

and the iniquity of our fathers,

for we have sinned against you.

21 Do not spurn us, for your name’s sake;

do not dishonor your glorious throne;

remember and do not break your covenant with us.

22 Are there any among the false gods of the nations that can bring rain?

Or can the heavens give showers?

Are you not he, O Lord our God?

We set our hope on you,

for you do all these things.

20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers:

For we have sinned against thee.

21 Do not abhor us, for thy name’s sake,

Do not disgrace the throne of thy glory:

Remember, break not thy covenant with us.

22 Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain?

Or can the heavens give showers?

Art not thou he, O Lord our God? therefore we will wait upon thee:

For thou hast made all these things.

20 Lord, we confess our wickedness

and that of our ancestors, too.

We all have sinned against you.

21 For the sake of your reputation, Lord, do not abandon us.

Do not disgrace your own glorious throne.

Please remember us,

and do not break your covenant with us.

22 Can any of the worthless foreign gods send us rain?

Does it fall from the sky by itself?

No, you are the one, O Lord our God!

Only you can do such things.

So we will wait for you to help us.

20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness

And the iniquity of our fathers,

For we have sinned against You.

21 Do not abhor us, for Your name’s sake;

Do not disgrace the throne of Your glory.

Remember, do not break Your covenant with us.

22 Are there any among the idols of the nations that can cause rain?

Or can the heavens give showers?

Are You not He, O Lord our God?

Therefore we will wait for You,

Since You have made all these.

20 Lord, we admit that we are wicked

and that our ancestors did evil things.

We have sinned against you.

21 For your sake, do not hate us.

Do not take away the honor from your glorious throne.

Remember your agreement with us,

and do not break it.

22 Do foreign idols have the power to bring rain?

Does the sky itself have the power to send down showers?

No, it is you, Lord our God.

You are our only hope,

because you are the one who made all these things.

20 We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee. 21 Do not abhor us, for thy name’s sake; do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. 22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Jehovah our God? therefore we will wait for thee; for thou hast made all these things.

20 Jehovah, we acknowledge our wickedness, the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee. 21 For thy name’s sake, do not spurn us, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. 22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? Art not thou HE, Jehovah, our God? And we wait upon thee; for thou hast made all these things.

20 O Lord, we realize our wickedness 

and the wrongs done by our ancestors. 

We have sinned against you. 

21 For the sake of your name, don’t despise us. 

Don’t dishonor your glorious throne. 

Remember your promiseto us; don’t break it. 

22 The worthless gods of the nations can’t make it rain. 

By themselves, the skies can’t give showers. 

But you can, O Lord our God. 

We have hope in you because you do all these things. 

20 We acknowledge our wickedness, Lord,

the guilt of our fathers;

indeed, we have sinned against You.

21 Because of Your name, don’t despise us.

Don’t disdain Your glorious throne.

Remember Your covenant with us;

do not break it.

22 Can any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain?

Or can the skies alone give showers?

Are You not the Lord our God?

We therefore put our hope in You,

for You have done all these things.

20 We acknowledge our wickedness, O Lord,

the iniquity of our ancestors,

for we have sinned against you.

21 Do not spurn us, for your name’s sake;

do not dishonor your glorious throne;

remember and do not break your covenant with us.

22 Can any idols of the nations bring rain?

Or can the heavens give showers?

Is it not you, O Lord our God?

We set our hope on you,

for it is you who do all this.

20 We know, O Yahweh, our wickedness,

the iniquity of our ancestors,

for we have sinned against you.

21 You must not spurn us for the sake of your name,

you must not dishonor your glorious throne.

Remember us!

You must not break your covenant with us.

22 Are there any among the idols of the nation who cause rain to pour?

Or can the heavens give showers?

Is it not you, O Yahweh our God?

Therefore, we hope in you, for you do all these things.

20 Lord, we admit we’ve done evil things.

We also admit that our people of long ago were guilty.

It’s true that we’ve sinned against you.

21 For the honor of your name, don’t turn your back on us.

Don’t bring shame on your glorious throne in the temple.

Remember the covenant you made with us.

Please don’t break it.

22 Do any of the worthless gods of the nations bring rain?

Do the skies send down showers all by themselves?

No. Lord our God, you send the rain.

So we put our hope in you.

You are the one who does all of those things.
