“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of

love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 let your ear be attentive

and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night

for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself

and my father’s family, have committed against you. 7 We have acted very wicked-

ly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your

servant Moses. 8 “Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If

you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, 9 but if you return to me and

obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will

gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my

Name.’ 10 “They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great

strength and your mighty hand.11 Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your

servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your

servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.”

Nehemiah 1:5-11 NIV
