Nehemiah 9:9-15

New American Standard Bible

⁹“^(A)You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,
And ^(B)heard their cry by the ^[a]Red Sea.
¹⁰Then You performed ^(C)signs and wonders against Pharaoh,
Against all his servants and all the people of his land;
For You knew that ^(D)they acted arrogantly toward them,
And You ^(E)made a name for Yourself as it is this day.
¹¹^(F)You divided the sea before them,
So they passed through the midst of the sea on dry ground;
And You hurled ^(G)their pursuers into the depths,
Like a stone into ^[b]raging waters.
¹²And with a pillar of cloud ^(H)You 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 ^(I)You came down on Mount Sinai,
And ^(J)spoke with them from heaven;
You gave them ^(K)just ordinances and true laws,
Good statutes and commandments.
¹⁴So You made known to them ^(L)Your holy Sabbath,
And gave them commandments, statutes, and law,
Through Your servant Moses.
¹⁵You ^(M)provided bread from heaven for them for their hunger,
You ^(N)brought out water from a rock for them for their thirst,
And You ^(O)told them to enter in order to take possession of
The land which You ^[c]swore to give them.
