6. We have sinned, as did also our fathers; we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. [Lev. 26:40-42.]
7. Our fathers in Egypt understood not nor appreciated Your miracles; they did not [earnestly] remember the multitude of Your mercies nor imprint Your loving-kindness [on their hearts], but they were rebellious and provoked the Lord at the sea, even at the Red Sea. [Exod. 14:21.]
8. Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake [to prove the righteousness of the divine character], that He might make His mighty power known.
9. He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up; so He led them through the depths as through a pastureland. [Exod. 14:21.]
10. And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the [Egyptian] enemy. [Exod. 14:30.]
11. And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left. [Exod. 14:27, 28; 15:5.]
12. Then [Israel] believed His words [trusting in, relying on them]; they sang His praise.
