Nehemiah 9:4-6

Some *Levites led the people to pray to God. Other *Levites led the people to *worship and to praise God.

They remembered that God has always lived. He was not born and he will not die. He made everything. He is the real God. He is not like the false gods that the foreigners served. They were not real gods. They did not make anything, but people made them.

v7 ‘You are the *Lord.

You are God.

You chose Abram.

You brought him out of Ur.

Ur was the city where the people called Chaldeans lived.

You gave him the name ‘Abraham’.

v8 You found that he trusted you.

You made an agreement with him that nobody can change.

You promised to give to his *descendants a country where many nations lived.

The Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites and the Girgashites were all nations that lived in that country.

You did what you promised to do.

You always do what is right.’
