Nehemiah 9:6-8
New English Translation
6 You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens,[a] along with all their multitude of stars,[b] the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You impart life to them all, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.
7 “You are the Lord God who chose Abram and brought him forth from Ur of the Chaldeans. You changed his name to Abraham. 8 When you perceived that his heart was faithful toward you, you established a[c] covenant with him to give his descendants[d] the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, and the Girgashites. You have fulfilled your promise,[e] for you are righteous.
