And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
We have sinned, as did also our fathers; we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. [Lev. 26:40-42.]
We have sinned—right along with our ancestors. We’ve done what is wrong. We’ve acted wickedly.
And they cried out to the Lord in tribulation, and he rescued them in their necessity.
