Nehemiah 9:6-8

Good News Translation

“You, Lord, you alone are Lord;
    you made the heavens and the stars of the sky.
You made land and sea and everything in them;
    you gave life to all.
The heavenly powers bow down and worship you.
^7 (A)You, Lord God, chose Abram
    and led him out of Ur in Babylonia;
    you changed his name to Abraham.
^8 (B)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.
