Nehemiah 9:10

Pharaoh
God's power and sovereignty

8 You found his heart faithful before You, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites and Hittites, of the Amorites and Perizzites, of the Jebusites and Girgashites— to give it to his descendants. You have kept Your promise, because You are righteous.

9 You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt; You heard their cry at the Red Sea.

You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, all his officials, and all the people of his land, for You knew they had acted with arrogance against our fathers. You made a name for Yourself that 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 depths like a stone into raging waters.

12 You led them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they should travel.
