Nehemiah 9:8-10
New King James Version
8 You found his heart (A)faithful before You,
And made a (B)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 (C)have performed Your words,
For You are righteous.
9 “You(D) saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,
And (E)heard their cry by the Red Sea.
10 You (F)showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,
Against all his servants,
And against all the people of his land.
For You knew that they (G)acted [a]proudly against them.
So You (H)made a name for Yourself, as it is this day.
