Nehemiah 9:9–15

⁹You saw the oppression of our ancestors in Egypt ⁱ

and heard their cry at the Red Sea.

¹⁰You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,

all his officials, and all the people of his land, ^j

for You knew how arrogantly they treated our ancestors.

You made a name for Yourself

that endures to this day.

¹¹You divided the sea before them,

and they crossed through it on dry ground. ^k

You hurled their pursuers into the depths

like a stone into churning waters. ^l

¹²You led them with a pillar of cloud by day,

and with a pillar of fire by night,

to illuminate the way they should go. ^m

¹³You came down on Mount Sinai, ⁿ

and spoke to them from heaven.

You gave them impartial ordinances, reliable instructions,

and good statutes and commands.

¹⁴You revealed Your holy Sabbath to them,

and gave them commands, statutes, and instruction

through Your servant Moses. ^o

¹⁵You provided bread from heaven ^pfor their hunger;

You brought them water from the rock ^qfor their thirst.

You told them to go in and possess the land

You had sworn ^rto give them. ^s
