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.
10 You saved all of them
11 and drowned every oneof their enemies.
12 Then your people trusted youand sang your praises.
