Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

Verse 32 is found in chapter 9 of Nehemiah. Foreign kingdoms and peoples subjected Israel, but the prayer insists that God was just in what occurred. Even under foreign domination, the community recognizes that the consequences corresponded to its conduct. This confession avoids placing all blame on external powers and maintains the people’s responsibility.

Nun, unser Gott, du großer Gott, mächtig und schrecklich, der du hältst Bund und Barmherzigkeit, achte nicht gering alle die Mühsal, die uns getroffen hat, unsre Könige, Fürsten, Priester, Propheten, Väter und dein ganzes Volk von der Zeit an der Könige von Assyrien bis auf diesen Tag.
Ahora pues, Dios nuestro, Dios grande, fuerte, terrible, que guardas el pacto y la misericordia, no sea tenido en poco delante de ti todo el trabajo que nos ha alcanzando a nuestros reyes, a nuestros príncipes, a nuestros sacerdotes, y a nuestros profetas, y a nuestros padres, y a todo tu pueblo, desde los días de los reyes de Asiria hasta este día.
Et maintenant, ô notre Dieu, Dieu grand, puissant et redoutable, toi qui gardes ton alliance et qui exerces la miséricorde, ne regarde pas comme peu de chose toutes les souffrances que nous avons éprouvées, nous, nos rois, nos chefs, nos sacrificateurs, nos prophètes, nos pères et tout ton peuple, depuis le temps des rois d'Assyrie jusqu'à ce jour.
Ora dunque, o Dio nostro, Dio grande, forte e tremendo, che osservi il patto e la benignità, non sia reputato piccolo appo te tutto il travaglio che è avvenuto a noi, a’ nostri re, a’ nostri principi, a’ nostri sacerdoti, a’ nostri profeti, a’ nostri padri, e a tutto il tuo popolo, dal tempo dei re degli Assiri, fino ad oggi.
Agora, pois, nosso Deus, o grande, poderoso e terrível Deus, que guardas a aliança e a beneficência, não tenhas em pouca conta toda a aflição que nos alcançou a nós, aos nossos reis, aos nossos príncipes, aos nossos sacerdotes, aos nossos profetas, aos nossos pais e a todo o teu povo, desde os dias dos reis da Assíria até ao dia de hoje.
「『現在,我們的上帝啊,你是至大、至能、至可畏、守約施慈愛的上帝;我們的君王、官長、祭司、先知、祖先和你的眾百姓,從 亞述 諸王的時候直到今日所遭遇的一切苦難,求你不要看為小事。
