9. You saw the affliction of our ancestors in Egypt,you heard their cry by the Red Sea;
10. You worked signs and wonders against Pharaoh,against all his servants and the people of his land,Because you knew of their insolence toward them;thus you made for yourself a name even to this day.
11. The sea you divided before them,on dry ground they passed through the midst of the sea;Their pursuers you hurled into the depths,like a stone into the mighty waters.
12. With a column of cloud you led them by day,and by night with a column of fire,To light the way of their journey,the way in which they must travel.
13. On Mount Sinai you came down,you spoke with them from heaven;You gave them just ordinances, true laws,good statutes and commandments;
14. Your holy sabbath you made known to them,commandments, statutes, and law you prescribed for them,by the hand of Moses your servant.
15. Food from heaven you gave them in their hunger,water from a rock you sent them in their thirst.You told them to enter and occupy the landwhich you had sworn to give them.
16. But they, our ancestors, proved to be insolent;they were obdurate and did not obey your commandments.
17. They refused to obey and no longer rememberedthe wonders you had worked for them.They were obdurate and appointed a leaderin order to return to their slavery in Egypt.But you are a forgiving God, gracious and merciful,slow to anger and rich in mercy;you did not forsake them.
