4 Lord, remember me when you show favor to your people. Help me when you save them.
5 Then I will enjoy the good things you give your chosen ones. I will be joyful together with your people. I will join them when they praise you.
6 We have sinned, just as our people of long ago did. We too have done what is evil and wrong.
7 When our people were in Egypt, they forgot about the Lord's miracles. They didn't remember his many kind acts. At the Red Sea they refused to obey him.
8 But he saved them for the honor of his name. He did it to make his mighty power known.
9 He ordered the Red Sea to dry up, and it did. He led his people through it as if it were a desert.
10 He saved them from the power of their enemies. He set them free from their control.
