Alechmy się my modlili do Pana, Boga naszego i postawiliśmy straż nad nimi we dnie i w nocy dla nieprzyjaciół.
Modliliśmy się więc do naszego Boga i ze względu na nich trzymaliśmy straż dniem i nocą.
Jednak modliliśmy się do naszego Boga oraz we dnie i w nocy wystawiliśmy przeciwko nim straże.
Myśmy się jednak modlili Bogu naszemu, i postawiliśmy straż przeciwko nim we dnie i w nocy, bojąc się ich.
My jednak modliliśmy się do naszego Boga i postawiliśmy przeciwko nim straż we dnie i w nocy, bojąc się ich.
Modliliśmy się więc do Boga naszego i wystawialiśmy dniem i nocą przeciwko nim straże.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Nevertheless, we made our prayer unto our God,.... Spread their case before him in prayer, entreating direction and help from him:
and set a watch against them day and night, because of them; to give notice of their approach, that they might prepare to defend themselves; though they prayed to God, and trusted in him for deliverance, they did not neglect the use of means.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Because of them - Or, “over against them,” i. e. opposite to the place where they were encamped, probably on the north side of the city.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Nehemiah 4:9. We made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch — The strongest confidence in the protection and favour of God does not preclude the use of all or any of the means of self-preservation and defence which his providence has put in our power. While God works in us to will and to do, we should proceed to willing, through the power he has given us to will; and we should proceed to action, through the power he has given us to act. We cannot will, but through God's power; we cannot act, but through God's strength. The power, and the use of it, are two distinct things. We may have the power to will, and not will; and we may have the power to do, and not act: therefore, says the apostle, seeing God has wrought in you these powers, see that YOU WORK OUT YOUR OWN salvation, with fear and trembling.
