1 Lord All-Powerful, God of Israel, we are worn out with trouble and distress, and we pray to you for help.
2 Though we have sinned against you, won't you answer our prayer and have mercy on us.
3 You rule as king forever, but when we die, we are gone forever.
4 So when we cry out to you, please listen. We are almost dead, because we are being punished for the sins of our ancestors.
5 Forget their sins, and think only of your own power and glory.
