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.
6 You are the Lord our God, and we will praise you.
7 You have made us fear you, so that we would pray to you. We are here as captives, yet we will praise you and turn from the sinful ways of our ancestors.
