3 How blessed are those who promote justice,and do what is right all the time!
4 Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people!Pay attention to me, when you deliver,
5 so I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones,rejoice along with your nation,and boast along with the people who belong to you.
6 We have sinned like our ancestors;we have done wrong, we have done evil.
7 Our ancestors in Egypt failed to appreciate your miraculous deeds,they failed to remember your many acts of loyal love,and they rebelled at the sea, by the Red Sea.
8 Yet he delivered them for the sake of his reputation,that he might reveal his power.
9 He shouted at the Red Sea and it dried up;he led them through the deep water as if it were a desert.
