Nehemiah 9:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸^(A)You found that he was faithful to you,
    and you made a covenant with him.
You promised to give him the land of the Canaanites,
    the land of the Hittites and the Amorites,
    the land of the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Girgashites,
    to be a land where his descendants would live.
You kept your promise, because you are faithful.

⁹^(B)“You saw how our ancestors suffered in Egypt;
    you heard their call for help at the Red Sea.
¹⁰^(C)You worked amazing miracles against the king,
    against his officials and the people of his land,
    because you knew how they oppressed your people.
You won then the fame you still have today.
