The prayer of Daniel
It was for this end, to avert the wrath of God, that Daniel sought God with fasting and sackcloth and ashes. This appears from the whole tenor of his prayer, particularly from the solemn conclusion of it. O Lord, according to all your righteousnesses (or mercies) let your anger be turned away from your holy mountain. Hear the prayer of your servant, and cause your face to shine upon your sanctuary that is desolate. O Lord, hear. O Lord, forgive. O Lord, listen and do, for your own sake. Daniel 9:3, 16, etc.
