Nehemiah 9:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ “You are the Lord,
    the God who chose Abram
and brought him out of Ur in Babylonia
    and named him Abraham.
⁸ You found him faithful to you,
    so you made an agreement with him
to give his descendants the land of the Canaanites,
    Hittites, Amorites,
    Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites.
You have kept your promise,
    because you do what is right.

⁹ “You saw our ancestors suffering in Egypt
    and heard them cry out at the Red Sea.
