Nehemiah 9:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ You are the Lord,
    the God who chose Abram.
You led him from Ur in Babylonia.
    You changed his name to Abraham.
⁸ You saw he was true and loyal to you,
    and you made an agreement with him.
You promised to give him the land
    of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites.
But you promised to give that land to Abraham’s descendants.
    And you kept your promise because you are good.
⁹ You saw our ancestors suffering in Egypt
    and heard them call for help by the Red Sea.
