Nehemiah 9:7-15

New King James Version

⁷“You are the Lord God,
Who chose ^(A)Abram,
And brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans,
And gave him the name ^(B)Abraham;
⁸You found his heart ^(C)faithful before You,
And made a ^(D)covenant with him
To give the land of the Canaanites,
The Hittites, the Amorites,
The Perizzites, the Jebusites,
And the Girgashites—
To give it to his descendants.
You ^(E)have performed Your words,
For You are righteous.

⁹“You^(F) saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,
And ^(G)heard their cry by the Red Sea.
¹⁰You ^(H)showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,
Against all his servants,
And against all the people of his land.
For You knew that they ^(I)acted ^[a]proudly against them.
So You ^(J)made a name for Yourself, as it is this day.
¹¹^(K)And You divided the sea before them,
So that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land;
And their persecutors You threw into the deep,
^(L)As a stone into the mighty waters.
¹²Moreover You ^(M)led them by day with a cloudy pillar,
And by night with a pillar of fire,
To give them light on the road
Which they should travel.

¹³“You^(N) came down also on Mount Sinai,
And spoke with them from heaven,
And gave them ^(O)just ordinances and true laws,
Good statutes and commandments.
¹⁴You made known to them Your ^(P)holy Sabbath,
And commanded them precepts, statutes and laws,
By the hand of Moses Your servant.
¹⁵You ^(Q)gave them bread from heaven for their hunger,
And ^(R)brought them water out of the rock for their thirst,
And told them to ^(S)go in to possess the land
Which You had ^[b]sworn to give them.
