Psalm 106:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 We have [a]sinned with our fathers: we have committed iniquity, and done wickedly.
7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt, neither remembered they the multitude of thy mercies, but rebelled at the Sea, even at the red sea.
8 Nevertheless he [b]saved them for his Name’s sake, that he might make his power to be known.

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.
