(A)We have sinned with our fathers,
We have committed iniquity,
We have done wickedly.
Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies,
(B)But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake,
(C)That He might make His mighty power known.
(D)He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up;
So (E)He led them through the depths,
As through the wilderness.
10 He (F)saved them from the hand of him who hated them,
And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 (G)The waters covered their enemies;
There was not one of them left.
12 (H)Then they believed His words;
They sang His praise.

13 (I)They soon forgot His works;
They did not wait for His counsel,
14 (J)But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
And tested God in the desert.
15 (K)And He gave them their request,
But (L)sent leanness into their soul.

16 When (M)they envied Moses in the camp,
And Aaron the saint of the Lord,
17 (N)The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan,
And covered the faction of Abiram.
18 (O)A fire was kindled in their company;
The flame burned up the wicked.
