Psalm 106:6-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Both we and our ancestors have sinned;
we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly.(A)
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[a] at the Red Sea.[b](B)
8 Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,
so that he might make known his mighty power.(C)
9 He rebuked the Red Sea,[c] and it became dry;
he led them through the deep as through a desert.(D)
10 So he saved them from the hand of the foe
and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.(E)
Psalm 106:19-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 They made a calf at Horeb
and worshiped a cast image.(A)
20 They exchanged the glory of God[a]
for the image of an ox that eats grass.(B)
