Nehemiah 9:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ “You are the Lord,
    the God who chose Abram,
who brought him out from Ur of the Chaldeans
    and changed his name to Abraham.
⁸ Finding that his heart was faithful,
    you made a covenant with him
to give to his descendants
    the land of the Canaanites,
Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,
    Jebusites, and Girgashites.
The promises of yours you fulfilled,
    for you are just.
⁹ “You beheld the misery of our ancestors in Egypt
    and heard their cry at the Red Sea.
