Psalm 106:7–12

Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,

did not consider your wondrous works;

they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,

but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,

that he might make known his mighty power.

He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry,

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

So he saved them from the hand of the foe

and redeemed them from the power of the enemy.

And the waters covered their adversaries;

not one of them was left.

Then they believed his words;

they sang his praise.

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.

He saved them from the hand of the foe;

from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.

The waters covered their adversaries;

not one of them survived.

Then they believed his promises

and sang his praise.

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.

Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,

to make his power known.

He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up;

he led them through the depths as through a desert.

He saved them from the power of the adversary;

he redeemed them from the power of the enemy.

Water covered their foes;

not one of them remained.

Then they believed his promises

and sang his praise.

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.

Even so, he saved them—

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.

So he rescued them from their enemies

and redeemed them from their foes.

Then the water returned and covered their enemies;

not one of them survived.

Then his people believed his promises.

Then they sang his praise.

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.

Yet he saved them for the sake of his name,

to make known his might.

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

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

Thus he saved them from the hand of the hater

and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

But waters covered their adversaries;

not one of them survived.

Then they believed his words;

they sang his praise.

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.

Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake,

That he might make his mighty power to be known.

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

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

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them,

And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

And the waters covered their enemies:

There was not one of them left.

Then believed they his words;

They sang his praise.
