forgive us
Overlook our wrongs
Forgive us is a plea for pardon, typically addressing God or a group.
The phrase appears in the Lord's Prayer—Forgive us our trespasses—and in collective apologies where a speaker asks mercy on behalf of a group: Forgive us, we didn't know.
It acknowledges shared fault and requests absolution.
