Psalms 80:14-16
God who rules over all, return to us! Look down from heaven and see us! Watch over your vine.Guard the root you have planted with your powerful right hand. Take care of the branch you have raised up for yourself.Your vine has been cut down and burned in the fire. You have been angry with us, and we are dying.

Daniel 9:16-19
Lord, you saved your people before. So turn your great anger away from Jerusalem again. After all, it is your city. It’s your holy mountain. You have made those who live around us think little of Jerusalem and your people. That’s because we have sinned. Our people before us did evil things too.“ Our God, hear my prayers. Pay attention to the appeals I make to you. Lord, have mercy on your temple that has been destroyed. Do it for your own honor.Our God, please listen to us. The city that belongs to you has been destroyed. Open your eyes and see it. We aren’t asking you to answer our prayers because we are godly. Instead, we’re asking you to do it because you love us so much.Lord, please listen! Lord, please forgive us! Lord, hear our prayers! Take action for your own honor. Our God, please don’t wait. Your city and your people belong to you.”

Isaiah 62:6-7
Jerusalem, I have stationed guards on your walls. They must never be silent day or night. You who call out to the Lord must not give yourselves any rest.And don’t give him any rest until he makes Jerusalem secure. Don’t give him any peace until people all over the earth praise that city.
