The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 9:7-8

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. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. The versions are all very close to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 9:9-10

To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. The Septuagint renders the last clause, "The Law which thou gavest before Moses, and us by thy servants the prophets." There is a change here which has the appearance of marking an interpolation. The prayer ceases, and an explanatory narrative begins. In content it resembles... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 9:8

O Lord, to us belongeth confusion ... - To all of us; to the whole people, high and low, rich and poor, the rulers and the ruled. All had been partakers of the guilt; all were involved in the calamities consequent on the guilt. As all had sinned, the judgments had come upon all, and it was proper that the confession should be made in the name of all. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 9:9

To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses - Not only does righteousness belong to him in the sense that he has done right, and that he cannot be blamed for what he has done, but mercy and forgiveness belong to him in the sense that he only can pardon, and that these are attributes of his nature.Though we have rebelled against him - The word used here and rendered “though” (כי kı̂y) may mean either “though” or “for.” That is, the passage may mean that mercy belongs to God, and we may... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 9:7-10

Daniel 9:7-10. O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee Thou hast done us no wrong in any of the calamities which thou hast brought upon us; but hast shown thyself to be just and holy, nay, merciful and gracious, punishing us far less than our iniquities deserved. But unto us confusion of faces But ignominy and shame belong to us; and the contempt and ill treatment we have met with has been no more than we justly deserved.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 9:1-23

Daniel’s prayer (9:1-23)Persia conquered Babylon in 539 BC and Darius was placed in charge of the newly conquered territory (see 5:31). The Jews’ seventy years captivity in Babylon, which Jeremiah had predicted, was now almost complete, and Daniel looked for their return to their homeland (9:1-2; see Jeremiah 29:10). But he knew that repentance was necessary if they were to enjoy God’s blessing, and therefore he came to God in prayer on behalf of his people (3).Casting himself and his people... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 9:9

9. mercies—The plural intensifies the force; mercy manifold and exhibited in countless ways. As it is humbling to recollect "righteousness belongeth unto God," so it is comforting, that "mercies belong to the Lord OUR God." though we have rebelled—rather, "since," &c. [Vulgate], (Psalms 25:11). Our punishment is not inconsistent with His "mercies," since we have rebelled against Him. read more
