Nehemiah 9:30-32

Good News Translation

³⁰^(A)Year after year you patiently warned them.
You inspired your prophets to speak,
    but your people were deaf,
    so you let them be conquered by other nations.
³¹And yet, because your mercy is great,
    you did not forsake or destroy them.
You are a gracious and merciful God!

³²^(B)“O God, our God, how great you are!
    How terrifying, how powerful!
You faithfully keep your covenant promises.
From the time when Assyrian kings oppressed us,
    even till now, how much we have suffered!
Our kings, our leaders, our priests and prophets,
    our ancestors, and all our people have suffered.
Remember how much we have suffered!
