4 When I heard this, I sat down and cried, mourning for a number of days while I fasted and prayed in the presence of the God of Heaven. 5 I said, |Please, LORD, God of Heaven, the great and fearsome God who keeps the covenant, showing 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. Nehemiah 1:4-6, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
