8Do not hold against us the sins of past generations;

8¶Do not hold us responsible for the guilty deeds of our forefathers;

Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us,

For we have become very low.

8¶O do not remember against us the sins and guilt of our forefathers.

Let Your compassion and mercy come quickly to meet us,

For we have been brought very low.

8Do not hold past sins against us;

let Your compassion come quickly,

for we are brought low.

8Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers:

Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us;

For we are brought very low.

8Remember not against vs the former iniquities, but make haste and let thy tender mercies preuent vs: for we are in great miserie.

8Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us.

Let your tender mercies speedily meet us,

for we are in desperate need.

8Don’t hold against us the sins of our people who lived before us.

May you be quick to show us your tender love.

We are in great need.

8Our ancestors did bad things,

but do not say that we are guilty because of that.

Be kind and send help to us quickly.

We are in a lot of trouble!

8Do not remember for us the iniquities of forefathers, || Hurry, let Your mercies go before us, || For we have been very weak.
