“To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away in all the countries to which You have banished them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against You.
Daniel 9:5 we have sinned and committed iniquity and acted wickedly and rebelled, even turning aside from Your commandments and judgments.
Daniel 9:6 Moreover, we have not listened to Your slaves the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers, and all the people of the land.
Daniel 9:7 “To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away in all the countries to which You have banished them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against You.
Daniel 9:8 O Yahweh, to us belongs open shame, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.
Daniel 9:9 To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him;
The verse centers on "faith", "lord", "belongs", "righteousness", "open", "shame", "judah", and "inhabitants". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "faith" and "lord", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 6's "Moreover we have not listened to Your..." into verse 8's "O Yahweh to us belongs open shame...", so "faith" and "lord" 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 "faith" and "lord" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
