Nehemiah 9:6-15

6 1You alone are the Lord. 2You have made the heavens, The heaven of heavens with all their 3lights, The earth and everything that is on it, The seas and everything that is in them. 4You give life to all of them, And the heavenly 5lights bow down before You.7You are the Lord God, 6Who chose Abram And brought him out from 7Ur of the Chaldees, And 8gave him the name Abraham.8You found 9his 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 10descendants. And You 11have fulfilled Your 12promise, Because You are righteous.

9“13You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, And 14heard their cry by the 15Red Sea.10Then You performed 16signs and wonders against Pharaoh, Against all his servants and all the people of his land; For You knew that 17they acted arrogantly toward them, And You 18made a name for Yourself as it is this day.11 19You divided the sea before them, So they passed through the midst of the sea on dry ground; And You hurled 20their pursuers into the depths, Like a stone into 21raging waters.12And with a pillar of cloud 22You 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 23You came down on Mount Sinai, And 24spoke with them from heaven; You gave them 25just ordinances and true laws, Good statutes and commandments.14So You made known to them 26Your holy Sabbath, And gave them commandments, statutes, and law, Through Your servant Moses.15You 27provided bread from heaven for them for their hunger, You 28brought out water from a rock for them for their thirst, And You 29told them to enter in order to take possession of The land which You 30swore to give them.
