while I was with

and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.

********************

1.  YOU alone are the LORD.

2.  YOU made

a. the heavens,

b. even the highest heavens, and

c. all their starry host,

d. the earth and

e. all that is on it,

f. the seas and

g. all that is in them.

3.  YOU give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.

4.  YOU are the LORD God, who chose Abram and brought him out of  Ur of the Chaldeans and named him Abraham.

5.  YOU found his heart FAITHFUL to you, and

6.  YOU made a covenant with him  to give to his descendents the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites and Girgashites.

7.  YOU have kept your promise because

8. YOU are righteous,

9.  YOU saw the suffering of our forefathers in Egypt;

10.  YOU heard their cry at the Red Sea.

11.  YOU sent miraculous signs and  wonders  against Pharao, against all his officials and all the people of the land,

 

PART TWO

12. for YOU knew how arrogantly the Egyptians treated them.

13.  YOU made a name for yourself, which remains to this day.

14. YOU devided the sea before them, so that they passed through it on dry ground,

15. but YOU hurled their pursuers into the depth, like a stone into the mighty waters.

16. By day YOU led them with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire to give them light on the way they were to take.

17. YOU came down on mount Sinai;

18. YOU spoke to them from heaven.

19. YOU gave them regulations and laws that are just and right, and decrees and commands that are good.

20. YOU made known to them your holy Sabbath and gave them commands, decrees and laws through your servant Moses.

21. In their hunger YOU gave them bread from heaven and

22. in their thirst YOU brought them water from the rock;

23. YOU told them to go in and take possession of the land

24. YOU had sworn with uplifted  hand to give them.'”
