 {v.5-31} Beginning with praise and thanksgiving, they give glory to Jehovah their God before faithfully reviewing God’s history with them. This recounting may be broken up in the following manner: 9:6 Jehovah the Creator-God. 9:7-8 God’s sovereign call of Abraham and His promises to him. 9:9-12 God’s gracious deliverance from Egypt. 9:13-15 The giving of the law and God’s provision for the wilderness. 9:16-18 Israel’s rebellion in seeking to make a captain to return to Egypt; the golden calf. 9:19-21 God’s mercy in not forsaking them in the wilderness. 9:22-25 God gave them kingdoms and subdued the inhabitants of the land of Canaan. 9:26-27 Israel’s rebellion; God’s government, and the raising up of deliverers. 9:28-30 God’s government culminates in their captivity. 9:31 In His mercy, God preserved a remnant of His people. Three things are especially noted: Israel’s failure, God’s gracious and merciful dealings with them, and God’s righteous government. (Confession - Neh. 9:3-38 by N. Simon)
 They own His absolute supremacy (v. 5). (Exposition on Nehemiah: Nehemiah 9 by E. Dennett)
