Nehemiah 9:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ You divided the sea in front of our ancestors;
    they walked through on dry ground.
But you threw the people chasing them into the deep water,
    like a stone thrown into mighty waters.
¹² You led our ancestors with a pillar of cloud by day
    and with a pillar of fire at night.
It lit the way
    they were supposed to go.
¹³ You came down to Mount Sinai
    and spoke from heaven to our ancestors.
You gave them fair rules and true teachings,
    good orders and commands.
