Nehemiah 1:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ And when I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for some days. And I fasted and prayed before the God of Heaven,

⁵ and said, “O LORD God of Heaven, the great and terrible God, Who keeps Covenant and mercy for those who love Him and observe His Commandments,

⁶ “I pray, let Your Ears be attentive, and Your Eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant which I pray before You daily, day and night, for the children of Israel, Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both I and my father’s House have sinned.
