We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD,
What it says
He acknowledges Judah's wickedness and the guilt of the fathers, confessing that they have sinned against the LORD.
What it is doing

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?
