Nehemiah:1:6-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Let thine ear now be attentive ,
and thine eyes open ,
that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant ,
which I pray before thee now ,
day and night ,
for the children of Israel thy servants ,
and confess the sins of the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
which we have sinned against thee :
both I and my fathers house have sinned .
*
We have dealt very corruptly against thee ,
and have not kept the commandments ,
nor the statutes ,
nor the judgments ,
which thou commandedst thy servant Moses .
*
Remember ,
I beseech thee ,
the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses ,
saying ,
If ye transgress ,
I will scatter you abroad among the nations :
*
But if ye turn unto me ,
and keep my commandments ,
and do them ;
though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven ,
yet will I gather them from thence ,
and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there .
*
Now these are thy servants and thy people ,
whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power ,
and by thy strong hand .
*
O Lord ,
I beseech thee ,
let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant ,
and to the prayer of thy servants ,
who desire to fear thy name :
and prosper ,
I pray thee ,
thy servant this day ,
and grant him mercy in the sight of this man .
For I was the kings cupbearer .
