We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD,
from A Prayer for Mercy, Jeremiah 14:19-22
What it says

He acknowledges Judah's wickedness and the guilt of the fathers, confessing that they have sinned against the LORD.

This verse grounds the plea in honest confession rather than denial.

In context

19Have You rejected Judah completely? 20We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD, 21For the sake of Your name do not despise us; 22Can the worthless idols of the nations bring rain?
