Nehemiah 9:6-15

61You alone are the Lord. 2You have made the heavens, The heaven of heavens with all their host, The earth and all that is on it, The seas and all that is in them. 3You give life to all of them And the heavenly host bows down before You.7You are the Lord God, 4Who chose Abram And brought him out from 5Ur of the Chaldees, And 6gave him the name Abraham.8You found 7his heart faithful before You, And made a covenant with him To give him the land of the Canaanite, Of the Hittite and the Amorite, Of the Perizzite, the Jebusite and the Girgashite-- To give it to his 8descendants. And You 9have fulfilled Your promise, For You are righteous.

9“10You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, And 11heard their cry by the 12Red Sea.10Then You performed 13signs and wonders against Pharaoh, Against all his servants and all the people of his land; For You knew that 14they acted arrogantly toward them, And 15made a name for Yourself as it is this day.1116You divided the sea before them, So they passed through the midst of the sea on dry ground; And 17their pursuers You hurled into the depths, Like a stone into 18raging waters.12And with a pillar of cloud 19You led them by day, And with a pillar of fire by night To light for them the way In which they were to go.13Then 20You came down on Mount Sinai, And 21spoke with them from heaven; You gave them 22just ordinances and true laws, Good statutes and commandments.14So You made known to them 23Your holy sabbath, And laid down for them commandments, statutes and law, Through Your servant Moses.15You 24provided bread from heaven for them for their hunger, You 25brought forth water from a rock for them for their thirst, And You 26told them to enter in order to possess The land which You 27swore to give them.
