Daniel 9:4 I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed:
“Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 5 we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. 6 We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors, and to all the people of the land.

In one of the commentaries I found this.
The Hebrew word for prayed (palal) is most often used to describe intercessory prayer. To intercede is derived from root words which combined give the literal meaning of to move or pass between and thus to mediate, to act between parties with a view to reconcile those who differ or contend.
Daniel included himself with those who have sinned and done wrong.
