Nehemiah 9:32-34

Good News Translation

^32 (A)“O God, our God, how great you are!
    How terrifying, how powerful!
You faithfully keep your covenant promises.
From the time when Assyrian kings oppressed us,
    even till now, how much we have suffered!
Our kings, our leaders, our priests and prophets,
    our ancestors, and all our people have suffered.
Remember how much we have suffered!
³³ You have done right to punish us;
    you have been faithful, even though we have sinned.
³⁴ Our ancestors, our kings, leaders, and priests
    have not kept your Law.
They did not listen to your commands and warnings.
