[Verse]
But with us,  
Lord, our God,  
you have dealt  
in all your clemency  
and in all  
your great mercy.

Thus you spoke  
through your servant Moses,  
the day you ordered him  
to write down  
your law  
in the presence  
of the Israelites:

‘If you do not listen  
to my voice,  
surely this great  
and numerous throng  
will dwindle away  
among the nations  
to which I will scatter them.

For I know  
they will not listen  
to me,  
because they are  
a stiff-necked people.  
But in the land  
of their exile  
they shall have  
a change of heart;

they shall know  
that I, the LORD,  
am their God.  
I will give them  
a heart  
and ears  
that listen;

and they shall praise me  
in the land  
of their exile,  
and shall remember  
my name.

Then they shall turn back  
from their stiff-necked stubbornness,  
and from their evil deeds,  
because they shall remember  
the ways  
of their ancestors,  
who sinned  
against the LORD.

And I will bring them back  
to the land  
I promised on oath  
to their ancestors,  
to Abraham,  
Isaac,  
and Jacob;  
and they shall rule it.  
I will make them increase;  
they shall not be few.

And I will establish  
for them  
an eternal covenant:  
I will be their God,  
and they shall be  
my people;  
and I will never again  
remove my people Israel  
from the land  
I gave them.’

LORD Almighty, 
God of Israel, 
the anguished soul, 
the dismayed spirit 
cries out to you.
Hear, LORD, 
and have mercy, 
for you are 
a merciful God; 
have mercy on us, 
who have sinned 
against you:

for 
you are enthroned forever, 
while we are 
perishing forever.

LORD Almighty, 
God of Israel, 
hear the prayer 
of the dead of Israel, 
children who sinned 
against you; 
they did not listen to 
the voice of 
the LORD, their God, 
and their evils 
cling to us.

Do not remember 
the wicked deeds 
of our ancestors, 
but remember 
at this time 
your power 
and your name,

for 
you are the LORD our God; 
and you, LORD, 
we will praise!

This is why you 
put into our hearts 
the fear of you: 
that we 
may call upon your name, 
and praise you 
in our exile, 
when we have removed 
from our hearts all the 
wickedness of our ancestors 
who sinned against you.

See, 
today we are in exile, 
where you have scattered us, 
an object of reproach 
and cursing 
and punishment for 
all the wicked deeds 
of our ancestors, 
who withdrew from 
the LORD, our God.
