7 You are the Lord our God,the one who chose Abram—you brought him from Urin Babyloniaand named him Abraham.
8 Because he was faithful,you made an agreementto give his descendantsthe land of the Canaanitesand Hittites,of the Amorites and Perizzites,and of the Jebusitesand Girgashites.Now you have kept your promise,just as you always do.
9 When our ancestorswere in Egypt,you saw their suffering;when they were at the Red Sea,you heard their cry for help.
10 You knew that the King of Egyptand his officials and his nationhad ill-treated your people.So you worked fearsome miraclesagainst the Egyptiansand earned a reputationthat still remains.
11 You divided the deep sea,and your people walked throughon dry land.But you tossed their enemies in,and they sank downlike a heavy stone.
12 Each day you led your peoplewith a thick cloud,and at night you showed the waywith a flaming fire.
13 At Sinai you came downfrom heaven,and you gave your peoplegood laws and teachingsthat are fair and honest.
