O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 9 of Daniel. The prayer develops the contrast between God’s righteousness and Israel’s shame. Daniel recalls that God had warned of the consequences of disobedience through the law and the prophets. Exile is therefore interpreted theologically: it is not merely the result of an international defeat but the consequence of a prolonged breach of the covenant.

Du, HERR, bist gerecht, wir aber müssen uns schämen; wie es denn jetzt geht denen von Juda und denen von Jerusalem und dem ganzen Israel, denen, die nahe und fern sind in allen Landen, dahin du sie verstoßen hast um ihrer Missetat willen, die sie an dir begangen haben.
Tuya es, Señor, la justicia, y nuestra la confusión de rostro, como en el día de hoy a todo hombre de Judá, y a los moradores de Jerusalem, y a todo Israel, a los de cerca y a los de lejos, en todas las tierras a donde los has echado a causa de su rebelión con que contra ti se rebelaron.
A ti, Señor, te pertenece la justicia; a nosotros, la vergüenza del rostro, como sucede hoy: a los hombres de Judá, a los habitantes de Jerusalén y a todo Israel, a los que están cerca y a los que están lejos, en todos los países adonde los has expulsado por la infidelidad con que te fueron infieles.
A toi, Seigneur, est la justice, et à nous la confusion de face, en ce jour, aux hommes de Juda, aux habitants de Jérusalem, et à tout Israël, à ceux qui sont près et à ceux qui sont loin, dans tous les pays où tu les as chassés à cause des infidélités dont ils se sont rendus coupables envers toi.
A te appartiene la giustizia, o Signore; ed a noi la confusion di faccia, come appare al dì d’oggi; agli uomini di Giuda, agli abitanti di Gerusalemme, ed a tutto Israele, vicini, e lontani, in tutti i paesi dove tu li hai scacciati per lo misfatto loro, che han commesso contro a te.
A ti, ó Senhor, pertence a justiça, mas a nós a confusão de rosto, como hoje se vê; aos homens de Judá, e aos moradores de Jerusalém, e a todo o Israel, aos de perto e aos de longe, em todas as terras por onde os tens lançado, por causa das suas rebeliões que cometeram contra ti.
主啊,你是公義的,但我們 猶大 人和 耶路撒冷 的居民,並你所趕到各國的 以色列 眾人,不論遠近,因為背叛了你,臉上蒙羞,正如今日一樣。
