7. You are Yahweh,the God who chose Abramand brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans, and changed his name to Abraham.
8. You found his heart faithful in Your sight, and made a covenant with himto give the land of the Canaanites,Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,Jebusites, and Girgashites —to give it to his descendants. You have kept Your promise,for You are righteous.
9. You saw the oppression of our ancestors in Egypt and heard their cry at the Red Sea.
10. You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,all his officials, and all the people of his land, for You knew how arrogantly they treated our ancestors.You made a name for Yourselfthat endures to this day.
11. You divided the sea before them,and they crossed through it on dry ground. You hurled their pursuers into the depthslike a stone into churning waters.
12. You led them with a pillar of cloud by day,and with a pillar of fire by night,to illuminate the way they should go.
13. You came down on Mount Sinai, and spoke to them from heaven.You gave them impartial ordinances, reliable instructions,and good statutes and commands.
