Nehemiah 9:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵The following Levites gave a call to worship: Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah. They said:

“Stand up and praise the Lord your God;
praise him forever and ever!
Let everyone praise his glorious name,
although no human praise is great enough.”

The Prayer of Confession

⁶And then the people of Israel prayed this prayer:

“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.
