6 We with our fathers sinned have,and of iniquityToo long we have the workers been;we have done wickedly.
7 The wonders great, which thou, O Lord,didst work in Egypt land,Our fathers, though they saw, yet themthey did not understand:And they thy mercies' multitudekept not in memory;But at the sea, ev'n the Red sea,provok'd him grievously.
8 Nevertheless he saved them,ev'n for his own name's sake;That so he might to be well knownhis mighty power make.
9 When he the Red sea did rebuke,then dried up it was:Through depths, as through the wilderness,he safely made them pass.
10 From hands of those that hated themhe did his people save;And from the en'my's cruel handto them redemption gave.
11 The waters overwhelm'd their foes;not one was left alive.
12 Then they believ'd his word,and praise to him in songs did give.
