6 We have sinned—right along with our ancestors.We’ve done what is wrong.We’ve acted wickedly.
7 Our ancestors in Egypt didn’t understand your wondrous works.They didn’t remember how much faithful love you have.So they rebelled by the sea—at the Reed Sea.
8 But God saved them for the sake of his good name,to make known his mighty power.
9 God scolded the Reed Sea, and it dried right up;he led them through the deeps like they were a dry desert.
10 God saved them from hostile powers;he redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11 But the waters covered over their foes—not one of them survived!
12 So our ancestors trusted God’s words;they sang God’s praise.
