Nehemiah 9:6-8

New Catholic Bible

“You alone are the Lord:
    you have created the heavens,
    the highest heavens with all their host,
the earth and all that is upon it,
    the seas and all that is in them.
To all of them you gave life,
    and the hosts of heaven worship you.
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.
