6. Both we and our fathers have sinned;we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
7. Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,did not consider your wondrous works;they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
8. Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make known his mighty power.
9. He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry,and he led them through the deep as through a desert.
10. So he saved them from the hand of the foeand redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11. And the waters covered their adversaries;not one of them was left.
12. Then they believed his words;they sang his praise.
13. But they soon forgot his works;they did not wait for his counsel.
