Nehemiah 9:6

Compare all

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.

9 “You^a saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,
And ^bheard their cry by the Red Sea.

10 You ^ashowed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,
Against all his servants,
And against all the people of his land.
For You knew that they ^bacted proudly against them.
So You ^cmade a name for Yourself, as it is this day.

11 ^aAnd You divided the sea before them,
So that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land;
And their persecutors You threw into the deep,
^bAs a stone into the mighty waters.

12 Moreover You ^aled them by day with a cloudy pillar,
And by night with a pillar of fire,
To give them light on the road
Which they should travel.

13 “You^a came down also on Mount Sinai,
And spoke with them from heaven,
And gave them ^bjust ordinances and true laws,
Good statutes and commandments.

14 You made known to them Your ^aholy Sabbath,
And commanded them precepts, statutes and laws,
By the hand of Moses Your servant.

15 You ^agave them bread from heaven for their hunger,
And ^bbrought them water out of the rock for their thirst,
And told them to ^cgo in to possess the land
Which You had¹ sworn to give them.
