⁷ You are the Lord, the God who chose Abram.
        You brought him from Ur of the Chaldeans,
        and you gave him the name Abraham.
⁸ You found his heart to be faithful before you.
        You made the covenant with him
        to give to his descendants the land of the Canaanites,
        the Hittites, the Amorites and the Perizzites,
        and the Jebusites and the Girgashites.^[a]
        You kept your word, because you are righteous.
⁹ You saw the oppression of our ancestors in Egypt.
        You heard their cry at the Red Sea.
