4 I prayed to the Lord my God and jmade confession, saying, k“O Lord, the great and awesome God, who lkeeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 5 mwe have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. 6 We have nnot listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7 oTo you, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those who are near and those who are far away, in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of the treachery that they have committed against you.
54 And he lbrought them to his holy land,
mto the mountain which his right hand had won.
55 He ndrove out nations before them;
ohe apportioned them for a possession
and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
56 Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God
and did not keep his testimonies,
57 but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;
they twisted plike a deceitful bow.
58 qFor they provoked him to anger with their high places;
they moved him to jealousy with their idols.
59 When God heard, he was full of wrath,
and he utterly rrejected Israel.
60 sHe forsook his dwelling at Shiloh,
the tent where he dwelt among mankind,
61 and delivered his tpower to captivity,
uhis glory to the hand of the foe.
