Nehemiah 9:6 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 9:6

Thou, even thou art Lord alone
Whose name alone is Jehovah, the one only true and living God:

thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host;
the airy and starry heavens, and the sun, moon, and stars in them, and the third heaven, the seat of God, angels, and saints:

the earth, and all things that are therein;
men, beasts, trees, metals, minerals

the seas, and all that is therein;
fishes, sea plants see ( Acts 4:24 ) ,

and thou preservest them all;
they consist in thee, and are upheld in their being by thee, ( Hebrews 1:3 ) ( Colossians 1:17 ) ( Psalms 36:6 )

and the host of heaven worshipped thee;
not the sun, moon, and stars, only in their way, ( Psalms 148:2 Psalms 148:3 ) but the angels chiefly, ( Hebrews 1:6 ) .

7 You are the LORD, the God who chose Abram and took him from Ur of the Chaldeans and gave him the name Abraham.
