Nehemiah 9:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ You are the Lord, the God who chose Abram
and took him from Ur of the Chaldeans
and gave him the name Abraham.
⁸ You found that his heart was faithful to you.
You made a promise ^[a] to him to give the land of the Canaanites, Hittites,
Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites to his descendants.
You kept your promise because you are fair.

⁹ You saw how our ancestors suffered in Egypt,
and you heard them crying at the Red Sea.
