Contextual Overview

⁴ Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani stood on the special platform for the Levites and prayed aloud to the Lord their God. ⁵ Then the Levites Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said: "Stand and shout praises to your Lord , the eternal God! Praise his wonderful name, though he is greater than words can express." ⁶ You alone are the Lord , Creator of the heavens and all the stars, Creator of the earth and those who live on it, Creator of the ocean and all its creatures. You are the source of life, praised by the stars that fill the heavens. 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, you heard their cry for help. ¹⁰ You knew that the King of Egypt and his officials and his nation had mistreated your people. So you worked fearsome miracles against the Egyptians and earned a reputation that still remains. ¹¹ You divided the deep sea, and your people walked through on dry land. But you tossed their enemies in, and they sank down like a heavy stone. ¹² Each day you led your people with a thick cloud, and at night you showed the way with a flaming fire. ¹³ At Sinai you came down from heaven, and you gave your people good laws and teachings that are fair and honest.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Howbeit, thou art just in all that is brought upon us,.... They own the justice of God, could not complain of any wrong done them; and had he shown them no mercy at all, it was but what they deserved:

for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly; he had done according to the truth of his word of promise, he had faithfully kept it, but they had transgressed his righteous law.
