⁶ We have sinned,^(A) even as our ancestors^(B) did;
    we have done wrong and acted wickedly.^(C)
7 When our ancestors were in Egypt,
    they gave no thought^(D) to your miracles;
they did not remember^(E) your many kindnesses,
    and they rebelled by the sea,^(F) the Red Sea.^[a]
8 Yet he saved them^(G) for his name’s sake,^(H)
    to make his mighty power^(I) known.
⁹ He rebuked^(J) the Red Sea, and it dried up;^(K)
    he led them through^(L) the depths as through a desert.
¹⁰ He saved them^(M) from the hand of the foe;^(N)
    from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.^(O)
11 The waters covered^(P) their adversaries;
    not one of them survived.
¹² Then they believed his promises
    and sang his praise.^(Q)

¹³ But they soon forgot^(R) what he had done
    and did not wait for his plan to unfold.^(S)
14 In the desert^(T) they gave in to their craving;
    in the wilderness^(U) they put God to the test.^(V)
15 So he gave them^(W) what they asked for,
    but sent a wasting disease^(X) among them.
