Nehemiah 9:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Nehemiah 9:5

3 And they stood up in their place and ^aread from the Book of the Law of the Lord their God for one–fourth of the day; and for another fourth they confessed and worshiped the Lord their God.

4 Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani stood on the stairs of the Levites and cried out with a loud voice to the Lord their God.

5 And the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said:
“Stand up and bless the Lord your God
Forever and ever!
“Blessed be ^aYour glorious name,
Which is exalted above all blessing and praise!

6 ^aYou alone are the Lord;
^bYou have made heaven,
^cThe heaven of heavens, with ^dall their host,
The earth and everything on it,
The seas and all that is in them,
And You ^epreserve them all.
The host of heaven worships You.

7 “You are the Lord God,
Who chose ^aAbram,
And brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans,
And gave him the name ^bAbraham;

8 You found his heart ^afaithful before You,
And made a ^bcovenant 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 ^chave performed Your words,
For You are righteous.
