Nehemiah 9:6-15

6[And Ezra said], “You are the Lord, You alone; You have made the heavens, The heaven of heavens with all their host (the heavenly bodies), The earth and everything that is on it, The seas and everything that is in them. You give life to all of them, And the heavenly host is bowing down [in worship] to You.

7You are the Lord God, Who chose Abram And brought him out of Ur of the Chaldees, And gave him the name Abraham.

8You found his heart to be faithful before You, And You made a covenant with him To give him the land of the Canaanite, Of the Hittite, of the Amorite, Of the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite— To give it to his descendants. And You have fulfilled Your promise, For You are righteous and just.

9“You saw our fathers’ affliction in Egypt, And You heard their cry by the Red Sea (Sea of Reeds).

10Then You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, Against all his servants and all the people of his land; For You knew that they behaved arrogantly toward them (the Israelites), And You made a name for Yourself, as it is to this day.

11You divided the sea before them, So that they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; You hurled their pursuers into the depths, Like a stone into mighty and raging waters.

12And with a pillar of cloud You led them by day, And with a pillar of fire by night To light the way for them In which they were to go.

13Then You came down on Mount Sinai, And spoke with them from heaven; And You gave them fair ordinances and true laws, Good statutes and commandments.

14So You made known to them Your holy Sabbath, And gave them commandments, statutes, and law, Through Your servant Moses.

15You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, And brought water for them out of a rock for their thirst, And You told them to enter and take possession of The land that You swore to give them.
