O Lord, I beseech thee, let thine eare now hearken to the prayer of thy seruant, and to the prayer of thy seruants, who desire to feare thy Name, and I pray thee, cause thy seruant to prosper this day, and giue him fauour in the presence of this man: for I was the Kings butler.
Nehemiah 1:9 But if ye turne vnto me, and keepe my commandements, and doe them, though your scattering were to the vttermost part of the heauen, yet will I gather you from thence, and will bring you vnto the place that I haue chosen to place my Name there.
Nehemiah 1:10 Now these are thy seruants and thy people, whome thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy mightie hand.
Nehemiah 1:11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let thine eare now hearken to the prayer of thy seruant, and to the prayer of thy seruants, who desire to feare thy Name, and I pray thee, cause thy seruant to prosper this day, and giue him fauour in the presence of this man: for I was the Kings butler.
The verse centers on "lord", "beseech", "thee", "thine", "eare", "hearken", "prayer", and "seruant". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "lord" and "beseech", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The prior verse says "Now these are thy seruants and thy...", giving immediate footing for "lord" and "beseech". In Nehemiah context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "lord" and "beseech" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
