Psalm 106:6–12 — The New International Version (NIV)

We have sinned, even as our ancestors did;

we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

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.

Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,

to make his mighty power known.

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.

12 Then they believed his promises

and sang his praise.

But provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

That he might make his mighty power to be known.

So he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

Instead, they rebelled against him at the Red Sea.

to defend the honor of his name

and to demonstrate his mighty power.

He commanded the Red Sea to dry up.

He led Israel across the sea as if it were a desert.

10 So he rescued them from their enemies

and redeemed them from their foes.

11 Then the water returned and covered their enemies;

not one of them survived.

12 Then his people believed his promises.

Then they sang his praise.

So He led them through the depths,

As through the wilderness.
