From a fully vowelled text

وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا كَمَا نَغْفِرُ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا لِلْمُذْنِبِينَ إِلَيْنَا.And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.Matthew 6:12, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَقُلْتُ: «اللّهُمَّ، إِنِّي أَخْجَلُ وَأَخْزَى مِنْ أَنْ أَرْفَعَ يَا إِلهِي وَجْهِي نَحْوَكَ، لأَنَّ ذُنُوبَنَا قَدْ كَثُرَتْ فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِنَا، وَآثَامَنَا تَعَاظَمَتْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ.And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.Ezra 9:6, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
