Psalm 106:6–15

6 Both we and our ancestors have sinned;

we have done wrong and have acted wickedly.k

7 Our ancestors in Egypt did not grasp

the significance of your wondrous works

or remember your many acts of faithful love;

instead, they rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.l

8 Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,

to make his power known.m

9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up;

he led them through the depths as through a desert.n

10 He saved them from the power of the adversary;

he redeemed them from the power of the enemy.o

11 Water covered their foes;

not one of them remained.p

12 Then they believed his promises

and sang his praise.q

13 They soon forgot his works

and would not wait for his counsel.r

14 They were seized with craving in the wilderness

and tested God in the desert.s

15 He gave them what they asked for,

but sent a wasting disease among them.t
