King James VersionSource notes
“For we have sinned and committed iniquity, departing from thee.”
Context
3Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: thy name is worthy to be praised and glorified for evermore:
4For thou art righteous in all the things that thou hast done to us: yea, true are all thy works, thy ways are right, and all thy judgments truth.
5In all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, thou hast executed true judgment: for according to truth and judgment didst thou bring all these things upon us because of our sins.
6For we have sinned and committed iniquity, departing from thee.
7In all things have we trespassed, and not obeyed thy commandments, nor kept them, neither done as thou hast commanded us, that it might go well with us.
8Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment.
9And thou didst deliver us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust king, and the most wicked in all the world.
