5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,that I may share in the joy of your nationand join your inheritance in giving praise.
6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did;we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
7 When our ancestors were in Egypt,they gave no thought to your miracles;they did not remember your many kindnesses,and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.
8 Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,to make his mighty power known.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up;he led them through the depths as through a desert.
10 He saved them from the hand of the foe;from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.
11 The waters covered their adversaries;not one of them survived.
