Nehemiah 9:6

6 You are Yahweh, even you alone; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are thereon, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all; and the host of heaven worships you.

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 Yahweh the God, who did choose Abram, and brought him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham,

8 and found his heart faithful before you, and mad a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his seed, and have performed your words; for you are righteous.
