3 You bless those peoplewho are honest and fairin everything they do.
4 Remember me, Lord,when you show kindnessby saving your people.
5 Let me prosper with the restof your chosen ones,as they celebrate with pridebecause they belong to you.
6 We and our ancestorshave sinned terribly.
7 When they were in Egypt,they paid no attentionto your marvellous deedsor your wonderful love.And they turned against youat the Red Sea.
8 But you were true to your name,and you rescued them to provehow mighty you are.
9 You said to the Red Sea,“Dry up!”Then you led your people acrosson land as dry as a desert.
