O Lord, righteousnes belongeth vnto thee, and vnto vs open shame, as appeareth this day vnto euery man of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem: yea, vnto all Israel, both neere and farre off, through all the countreys, whither thou hast driuen them, because of their offences, that they haue committed against thee.
Daniel 9:5 We haue sinned, and haue committed iniquitie and haue done wickedly, yea, we haue rebelled, and haue departed from thy precepts, and from thy iudgements.

Daniel 9:7 O Lord, righteousnes belongeth vnto thee, and vnto vs open shame, as appeareth this day vnto euery man of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem: yea, vnto all Israel, both neere and farre off, through all the countreys, whither thou hast driuen them, because of their offences, that they haue committed against thee.
Daniel 9:8 O Lord, vnto vs apperteineth open shame, to our Kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we haue sinned against thee.
Daniel 9:9 Yet compassion and forgiuenesse is in the Lord our God, albeit we haue rebelled against him.
The verse centers on "lord", "righteousnes", "belongeth", "vnto", "thee", "open", and "shame". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "lord" and "righteousnes", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 6's "For we would not obey thy seruants..." into verse 8's "O Lord vnto vs apperteineth open shame...", so "lord" and "righteousnes" belong inside that flow. In Daniel context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "lord" and "righteousnes" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
