  Our kings and our princes,
  Our priests and our prophets,
  Our fathers and on all Your people,
  From the days of the kings of Assyria until this day. However You are just in all that has befallen us;
  For You have dealt faithfully,
  But we have done wickedly. Neither our kings nor our princes,
  Our priests nor our fathers,
  Have kept Your law,
  Nor heeded Your commandments and Your testimonies,
  With which You testified against them. For they have not served You in their kingdom,
  Or in the many good things that You gave them,
  Or in the large and rich land which You set before them;
  Nor did they turn from their wicked works.
