Nehemiah 9:9-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.
