Nehemiah 1:10 In-Context

8 Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, "If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples;

9 but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts are under the farthest skies, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place at which I have chosen to establish my name.'

10 They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great power and your strong hand.

11 O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man!" At the time, I was cupbearer to the king.
