he led them through the depths as through a desert.(C)

When our ancestors were in Egypt,
    they gave no thought(A) to your miracles;
they did not remember(B) your many kindnesses,

Yet he saved them(D) for his name’s sake,(E)
    to make his mighty power(F) known.
He rebuked(G) the Red Sea, and it dried up;(H)
    he led them through(I) the depths as through a desert.
