The verses around Nehemiah 9:17.
15And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.
16But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
17And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.
18Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;
19Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.
Verse explanation
Even in the face of rebellion, including the attempt to return to slavery in Egypt, the prayer insists that God remained ready to pardon, gracious and merciful.

E recusaram ouvir-te, e não se lembraram das tuas maravilhas, que lhes fizeste, e endureceram a sua cerviz, e na sua rebellião levantaram um chefe, afim de voltarem para a sua servidão: porém tu, ó Deus perdoador, clemente e misericordioso, tardio em irar-te, e grande em beneficencia, comtudo os não desamparaste.

E recusaram [te] ouvir, e não se lembraram de tuas maravilhas que havias feito com eles; ao invés disso, endureceram sua cerviz, e em sua rebelião levantaram um líder para voltarem à sua escravidão. Porém tu, que és Deus que perdoas, clemente e misericordioso, tardio para se irar, e grande em bondade, não os desamparaste.

Se negaron a escucharte y se olvidaron de todos los milagros que hiciste por ellos. Se obstinaron y decidieron elegir ellos mismos un líder que los llevara de vuelta a la esclavitud en Egipto.
