Nehemiah 1:5-7
International Standard Version
5 I said, “Please, Lord, God of Heaven, the great and fearsome God who keeps the covenant, showing[a] gracious love to those who love you and keep your commands, 6 please turn your attention to observe carefully and listen to the prayer of your servant today that I am presenting to you day and night on behalf of your servants, the Israelis.
“I confess the sins that we Israelis have committed against you. Both I and my father’s house have sinned. 7 We have abandoned you by not keeping your commands, your ceremonies, and your judgments that you proscribed to your servant Moses.

5 Then I said:
“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God,(A) who keeps his covenant of love(B) with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear(C) the prayer(D) your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess(E) the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. 7 We have acted very wickedly(F) toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.
