Please remember me for good, O my God, for all that I have done for this people.

Please remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, the covenant of the priesthood, and the Levites.

I also provided for the wood offering at the appointed times and also for the first fruits. Please remember me for good, O my God.

Please recall the word you commanded your servant Moses: ‘If you act unfaithfully, I will scatter you among the nations.

Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat in light of these actions of theirs – also Noadiah the prophetess and the other prophets who were trying to scare me!

Please remember me for this, O my God, and do not wipe out the kindness that I have done for the temple of my God and for its services!

When I had made an inspection, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the great and awesome Lord, and fight on behalf of your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your families!”

They refused to obey and did not recall your miracles that you had performed among them. Instead, they rebelled and appointed a leader to return to their bondage in Egypt. But you are a God of forgiveness, merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and unfailing in your loyal love. You did not abandon them,

Then I directed the Levites to purify themselves and come and guard the gates in order to keep the Sabbath day holy. For this please remember me, O my God, and have pity on me in keeping with your great love.
