1 “You made the everlasting structure of the world visible through Your works. You, Lord, created the earth. You who are faithful throughout all generations, righteous in Your judgments, marvelous in strength and excellence, You who are wise in creating and prudent in establishing what You have made, who are good in the things that are seen and faithful to those who trust in You, merciful and compassionate, forgive us our iniquities and our unrighteous acts⁠a and our transgressions and shortcomings.” 2 “Do not count against us every sin of Your servants and Your maidservants, but cleanse us with the cleansing of Your truth, and guide our steps to walk in holiness and righteousness and sincerity of heart, and to do what is good and pleasing in Your sight and in the sight of our rulers.”⁠b 3 “Yes, Lord, make Your face shine upon us in peace for our good, so that we may be sheltered by Your mighty hand and delivered from every sin by Your uplifted arm. And deliver us from those who hate us unjustly.” 4 “Give harmony and peace to us and to all who dwell on the earth, as You gave to our fathers when they called on You in faith and truth with holiness, so that we may be saved while we obey Your almighty and most excellent Name, and our rulers and governors on the earth.”
