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.

6 We have sinned with our fathers,

We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt;

They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies;

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

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

That he might make his mighty power to be known.

9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up:

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

6 Like our ancestors, we have sinned.

We have done wrong! We have acted wickedly!

7 Our ancestors in Egypt

were not impressed by the Lord’s miraculous deeds.

They soon forgot his many acts of kindness to them.

Instead, they rebelled against him at the Red Sea.

8 Even so, he saved them—

to defend the honor of his name

and to demonstrate his mighty power.

9 He commanded the Red Sea to dry up.

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

6 We have sinned with our fathers,

We have committed iniquity,

We have done wickedly.

7 Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;

They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies,

But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake,

That He might make His mighty power known.

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

So He led them through the depths,

As through the wilderness.

6 We have sinned just as our ancestors did.

We have done wrong; we have done evil.

7 Our ancestors in Egypt

did not learn from your miracles.

They did not remember all your kindnesses,

so they turned against you at the Red Sea.

8 But the Lord saved them for his own sake,

to show his great power.

9 He commanded the Red Sea, and it dried up.

He led them through the deep sea as if it were a desert.

6 We have sinned with our fathers,

We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt;

They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses,

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

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

That he might make his mighty power to be known.

9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up:

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

6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 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. 9 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness.

6 We have sinned, and so did our ancestors. 

We have done wrong. 

We are guilty. 

7 When our ancestors were in Egypt, 

they gave no thought to your miracles. 

They did not remember your numerous acts of mercy, 

so they rebelled at the sea, the Red Sea. 

8 He saved them because of his reputation 

so that he could make his mighty power known. 

9 He angrily commanded the Red Sea, and it dried up. 

He led them through deep water as though it were a desert. 

6 Both we and our fathers have sinned;

we have done wrong and have acted wickedly.

7 Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp

the significance of Your wonderful works

or remember Your many acts of faithful love;

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

8 Yet He saved them because of His name,

to make His power known.

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

He led them through the depths as through a desert.

6 Both we and our ancestors have sinned;

we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly.

7 Our ancestors, when they were in Egypt,

did not consider your wonderful works;

they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,

but rebelled against the Most High at the Red Sea.

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

so that he might make known his mighty power.

9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry;

he led them through the deep as through a desert.

6 We have sinned along with our ancestors.

We have committed iniquity; we have incurred guilt.

7 Our ancestors in Egypt did not understand your wonderful works.

They did not remember your many acts of loyal love,

and so they rebelled by the sea at the Red Sea.

8 Yet he saved them for the sake of his name,

to make known his might.

9 So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up,

and he led them through the deep as through a desert.

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.

6 We have sinned like our fathers,

We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.

7 Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;

They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses,

But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

8 Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of His name,

That He might make His power known.

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

And He led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.
