6. “You are the Lord, you alone;You made the heavens,the highest heavens and all their host,The earth and all that is upon it,the seas and all that is in them.To all of them you give life,the heavenly hosts bow down before you.
7. You are the Lord Godwho chose Abram,Who brought him from Ur of the Chaldees,who named him Abraham.
8. You found his heart faithful in your sight,you made the covenant with himTo give the land of the Canaanites,Hittites, Amorites,Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashitesto him and his descendants.You fulfilled your promises,for you are just.
9. You saw the affliction of our ancestors in Egypt,you heard their cry by the Red Sea;
10. You worked signs and wonders against Pharaoh,against all his servants and the people of his land,Because you knew of their insolence toward them;thus you made for yourself a name even to this day.
11. The sea you divided before them,on dry ground they passed through the midst of the sea;Their pursuers you hurled into the depths,like a stone into the mighty waters.
12. With a column of cloud you led them by day,and by night with a column of fire,To light the way of their journey,the way in which they must travel.
13. On Mount Sinai you came down,you spoke with them from heaven;You gave them just ordinances, true laws,good statutes and commandments;
14. Your holy sabbath you made known to them,commandments, statutes, and law you prescribed for them,by the hand of Moses your servant.
15. Food from heaven you gave them in their hunger,water from a rock you sent them in their thirst.You told them to enter and occupy the landwhich you had sworn to give them.
16. But they, our ancestors, proved to be insolent;they were obdurate and did not obey your commandments.
