SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:19
Acuérdate de mí para bien, Dios mío, y de todo lo que hice a este pueblo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 5:19
Verse 19. Think upon me, my God, for good] Nehemiah wishes for no reward from man; and he only asks mercy at the hand of his God for what his providence enabled him to do; and which, according to the good hand of his God upon him, he had done faithfully. He does not offer his good deeds to God in extenuation of his sins, or as a compensation for the heaven he expected. Nothing of the kind: he simply says, what any good man might say, My God, as I have done good to them, so do good to me; or as the poet has sung:- "Teach me to feel another's wo, To hide the fault I see: The mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me!" POPE. This is according to the precept of Christ: "Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven; give, and it shall be given unto you."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people .] He expected not any recompence from the people, but from the Lord; and from him not in a way of merit, but of grace and good will, who forgets not what is done for his name’s sake, ( Hebrews 6:10).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-19 - Those who truly fear God, will not dare to do any thing cruel of unjust. Let all who are in public places remember that they are s placed to do good, not to enrich themselves. Nehemiah mentions it to God in prayer, not as if he had merited any favour from God, but to show that he depended upon God only, to make up to him what he had los and laid out for his honour. Nehemiah evidently spake and acted as on that knew himself to be a sinner. He did not mean to claim a reward a of debt, but in the manner that the Lord rewards a cup of cold wate given to a disciple for his sake. The fear and love of God in the heart, and true love of the brethren, will lead to every good work These are proper evidences of justifying faith; and our reconciled God will look upon persons of this character for good, according to all they have done for his people __________________________________________________________________
