Nehemiah 1:5-7

New King James Version

⁵ And I said: “I pray, ^(A)Lord God of heaven, O great and ^(B)awesome God, ^(C)You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love ^[a]You and observe ^[b]Your commandments, ⁶ please let Your ear be attentive and ^(D)Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and ^(E)confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I have sinned. ^7 (F)We have acted very corruptly against You, and have ^(G)not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.
