Nehemiah’s Prayer

1The words of Nehemiah son of

Hakaliah:

In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the

citadel of Susa,

2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah

with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had

survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.

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.”

4 When I heard these things, I sat down

and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of

heaven.

5 Then I said: “Lord, the God of

heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those

who love him and keep his commandments,

6 let your ear be

attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before

you day
