Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

done, therefore Nehemiah refers himself to God, to recompense him. This may well be the summary
of our petitions; we need no more to make us happy than this; Remember me, O my God, for good.
We may humbly hope that the Lord will remember us and our services, although, after lives of
unwearied activity and usefulness, we shall still see cause to abhor ourselves and repent in dust
and ashes, and to cry out with Nehemiah, Spare me, O my God, according to the greatness of they
mercy.
