We have sinned just as our ancestors did.
    We have done wrong. We have done evil.
Our ancestors in Egypt

But the Lord saved them for his own sake,
    to show his great power.

We have sinned,(A) even as our ancestors(B) did;

Yet he saved them(G) for his name’s sake,(H)
    to make his mighty power(I) known.
