Nehemiah

Nehemiah 9:9–11

⁹You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt;

You heard their cry at the Red Sea.^a

¹⁰You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,

all his officials, and all the people of his land,

for You knew they had acted with arrogance

against our fathers.

You made a name for Yourself

that endures to this day.

¹¹You divided the sea before them,

and they crossed through it on dry ground.

You hurled their pursuers into the depths

like a stone into raging waters.
