Nehemiah 9:6-12 New Century Version (NCV)

6. You are the only Lord.You made the heavens, even the highest heavens,with all the stars.You made the earth and everything on it,the seas and everything in them;you give life to everything.The heavenly army worships you.

7. “You are the Lord,the God who chose Abramand brought him out of Ur in Babyloniaand named him Abraham.

8. You found him faithful to you,so you made an agreement with himto give his descendants the land of the Canaanites,Hittites, Amorites,Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites.You have kept your promise,because you do what is right.

9. “You saw our ancestors suffering in Egyptand heard them cry out at the Red Sea.

10. You did signs and miracles against the king of Egypt,and against all his officers and all his people,because you knew how proud they were.You became as famous as you are today.

11. You divided the sea in front of our ancestors;they walked through on dry ground.But you threw the people chasing them into the deep water,like a stone thrown into mighty waters.

12. You led our ancestors with a pillar of cloud by dayand with a pillar of fire at night.It lit the waythey were supposed to go.
