Nehemiah 9:5-15

New International Version

“Blessed be your glorious name,^(B) and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. ⁶ You alone are the Lord.^(C) You made the heavens,^(D) even the highest heavens, and all their starry host,^(E) the earth^(F) and all that is on it, the seas^(G) and all that is in them.^(H) You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven^(I) worship you.

⁷ “You are the Lord God, who chose Abram^(J) and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans^(K) and named him Abraham.^{(L) 8} You found his heart faithful to you, and you made a covenant with him to give to his descendants the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites and Girgashites.^(M) You have kept your promise^(N) because you are righteous.^(O)

⁹ “You saw the suffering of our ancestors in Egypt;^(P) you heard their cry at the Red Sea.^{[b](Q) 10} You sent signs^(R) and wonders^(S) against Pharaoh, against all his officials and all the people of his land, for you knew how arrogantly the Egyptians treated them. You made a name^(T) for yourself,^(U) which remains to this day. ¹¹ You divided the sea before them,^(V) so that they passed through it on dry ground, but you hurled their pursuers into the depths,^(W) like a stone into mighty waters.^{(X) 12} By day^(Y) you led^(Z) them with a pillar of cloud,^(AA) and by night with a pillar of fire to give them light on the way they were to take.

¹³ “You came down on Mount Sinai;^(AB) you spoke^(AC) to them from heaven.^(AD) You gave them regulations and laws that are just^(AE) and right, and decrees and commands that are good.^{(AF) 14} You made known to them your holy Sabbath^(AG) and gave them commands, decrees and laws through your servant Moses. ¹⁵ In their hunger you gave them bread from heaven^(AH) and in their thirst you brought them water from the rock;^(AI) you told them to go in and take possession of the land you had sworn with uplifted hand^(AJ) to give them.^(AK)
