7 You are the LORD our God, the one who chose Abram — you brought him from Ur in Babylonia and named him Abraham.

8 Because he was faithful, you made an agreement to give his descendants the land of the Canaanites and Hittites, of the Amorites and Perizzites, and of the Jebusites and Girgashites. Now you have kept your promise, just as you always do.

9 When our ancestors were in Egypt, you saw their suffering; when they were at the Red Sea, [3] you heard their cry for help.
