Like our ancestors, we have sinned.
    We have done wrong! We have acted wickedly!
Our ancestors in Egypt
    were not impressed by the Lord’s miraculous deeds.
They soon forgot his many acts of kindness to them.
    Instead, they rebelled against him at the Red Sea.[a]
Even so, he saved them—
    to defend the honor of his name
    and to demonstrate his mighty power.

  1. 106:7 Hebrew at the sea, the sea of reeds.

We have sinned,(A) even as our ancestors(B) did;
    we have done wrong and acted wickedly.(C)
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]
Yet he saved them(G) for his name’s sake,(H)
    to make his mighty power(I) known.
