Charles Ellicott Commentary Nehemiah 5:19

"Remember unto me, O my God, for good, all that I have done for this people." — Nehemiah 5:19 (ASV)

Think upon me, my God. — Inserting this prayer, Nehemiah, far from this people, humbly asks his recompense not from them, but from God. Nothing was more distant from his thoughts than the fame of his good deeds.
