The speaker’s prayer, fasting before the God of heaven
말하는 이가 하늘의 하나님 앞에 금식하며 드린 기도
Nehemiah 1:4–11: the text says, “When I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and mourned several days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven,” and the speaker (“I”) prays, “I beg you, LORD, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments, let your ear now be attentive and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against you. Yes, I and my father’s house have sinned. We have dealt very corruptly against you, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which you commanded your servant Moses. Remember, I beg you, the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you trespass, I will scatter you among the peoples; but if you return to me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there.’ Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand. Lord, I beg you, let your ear be attentive now to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name; and please prosper your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” The text goes on, “Now I was cup bearer to the king.” At 1:6 the Korean Revised Version tells first that the servant prays day and night and confesses the sins of the children of Israel (주야로 기도하오며 … 범죄함을 자복하오니), and then asks that the ear be attentive and the eyes open. It opens the word commanded to Moses at the head of 1:8 (옛적에 주께서 주의 종 모세에게 명하여 가라사대, long ago you commanded your servant Moses, saying) and asks at the end of 1:9 that it be remembered (하신 말씀을 이제 청컨대 기억하옵소서), where WEB puts “Remember, I beg you” at the head of 1:8. That word stands inside the prayer; the LORD does not speak here. Neither edition says who “this man” of 1:11 is.

4When I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and mourned several days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven,
5and said, “I beg you, LORD, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments,
6let your ear now be attentive and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against you. Yes, I and my father’s house have sinned.
7We have dealt very corruptly against you, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which you commanded your servant Moses.
8“Remember, I beg you, the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you trespass, I will scatter you among the peoples;
9but if you return to me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there.’
10“Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand.
11Lord, I beg you, let your ear be attentive now to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name; and please prosper your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” Now I was cup bearer to the king.
