Nehemiah's Prayer
4 As soon as I heard these words I (D)sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the (E)God of heaven. 5 And I said, “O Lord God of heaven, (F)the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 (G)let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, (H)confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even (I)I and my father's house have sinned.

Nehemiah 1:3-6
New International Version
3 They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.(A)”
4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept.(B) For some days I mourned and fasted(C) and prayed before the God of heaven. 5 Then I said:
“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God,(D) who keeps his covenant of love(E) with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear(F) the prayer(G) your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess(H) the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you.
