6 Thou, even Thou, art Hashem alone; Thou hast made HaShomayim, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, ha’aretz, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and Thou preservest them all; and the Tz’va HaShomayim worshipeth Thee.

Nechemyah 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 Thou art Hashem HaElohim, Who didst choose Avram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur Kasdim, and gavest shmo Avraham;
8 And foundest his lev ne’eman before Thee, and madest habrit (the covenant) with him to give the eretz HaKena’ani, the Chitti, the Emori, and the Perizzi, and the Yevusi, and the Girgashi, to give it to his zera, and hast performed Thy words; for Thou art tzaddik;
