Daniel 9:18

Incline your ear (listen carefully) and hear! [My prayer to you, but also the mockery of the people, see verse 16.]
Open your eyes and see our desolation [cities in ruins in our land] and the city [Jerusalem],
which is named after your name.
It is not because of our own righteous deeds that we come to you with our pleas (earnest, humble, and heartfelt prayers for mercy),
but because of your great mercy (infinite grace).
[Here, and in verse 9, rachamim is used, one of several Hebrew words for mercy and compassion. The word only appears in the plural in the Bible. It illustrates how God's mercy is infinite. A word that does not exist in the singular is impossible to count. It has no beginning and no end. This word shows the dimension of mercy that makes it unlimited.]

πρόσχες κύριε τὸ οὖς σου καὶ ἐπάκουσόν μου ἄνοιξον τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου καὶ ἰδὲ τὴν ἐρήμωσιν ἡμῶν καὶ τῆς πόλεώς σου ἐφ᾽ ἧς ἐπεκλήθη τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς οὐ γὰρ ἐπὶ ταῖς δικαιοσύναις ἡμῶν ἡμεῖς δεόμεθα ἐν ταῖς προσευχαῖς ἡμῶν ἐνώπιόν σου ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸ σὸν ἔλεος
