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.

7 Our ancestors in Egypt

were not impressed by the Lord’s miraculous deeds.

to defend the honor of his name

and to demonstrate his mighty power.

to show his great power.

But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

That he might make his mighty power to be known.

7 Our fathers in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea. 8 Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make known his might.
