6 We have sinned as our ancestors did;we have been wicked and evil.
7 Our ancestors in Egypt did not understand God's wonderful acts;they forgot the many times he showed them his love,and they rebelled against the Almighty at the Red Sea.
8 But he saved them, as he had promised,in order to show his great power.
9 He gave a command to the Red Sea,and it dried up;he led his people across on dry land.
10 He saved them from those who hated them;he rescued them from their enemies.
11 But the water drowned their enemies;not one of them was left.
12 Then his people believed his promisesand sang praises to him.
