Nehemiah 9:9–15

⁹“You ^qsaw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,

And ^rheard their cry by the Red Sea.

¹⁰You ^sshowed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,

Against all his servants,

And against all the people of his land.

For You knew that they ^tacted ³proudly against them.

So You ^umade a name for Yourself, as it is this day.

^11vAnd 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,

^wAs a stone into the mighty waters.

¹²Moreover You ^xled 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 ^ycame down also on Mount Sinai,

And spoke with them from heaven,

And gave them ^zjust ordinances and true laws,

Good statutes and commandments.

¹⁴You made known to them Your ^aholy Sabbath,

And commanded them precepts, statutes and laws,

By the hand of Moses Your servant.

¹⁵You ^bgave them bread from heaven for their hunger,

And ^cbrought them water out of the rock for their thirst,

And told them to ^dgo in to possess the land

Which You had ⁴sworn to give them.
