Nehemiah 1:10-12

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

11 O LORD, I plead to you, let now yours ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who desire to fear your name: and prosper, I pray you, your servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.
