Nehemiah 1:5-6

Nehemiah 1:5-6

[5] And said,  I beseech  God  of heaven,  the great  and terrible  God,  that keepeth  covenant  and mercy  for them that love  him and observe  his commandments:  [6] 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,  which we have sinned  against thee: both I and my father's  house  have sinned.
