Psalm 106:6-12
The Message
Psalm 106:6-12
The Message
6-12 We’ve sinned a lot, both we and our parents;
We’ve fallen short, hurt a lot of people.
After our parents left Egypt,
they took your wonders for granted,
forgot your great and wonderful love.
They were barely beyond the Red Sea
when they defied the High God
—the very place he saved them!
—the place he revealed his amazing power!
He rebuked the Red Sea so that it dried up on the spot
—he paraded them right through!
—no one so much as got wet feet!
He saved them from a life of oppression,
pried them loose from the grip of the enemy.
Then the waters flowed back on their oppressors;
there wasn’t a single survivor.
Then they believed his words were true
and broke out in songs of praise.
Psalm 106:6-8
New International Version
Psalm 106:6-8
New International Version
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.
