1. Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation.
2. Who will declare the powers of the Lord? Who make a hearing for all his praises?
3. Blessed are those who keep judgment and who do justice at all times.
4. Remember us, O Lord, with good will for your people. Visit us with your salvation,
5. so that we may see the goodness of your elect, so that we may rejoice in the joy of your nation, so that you may be praised along with your inheritance.
6. We have sinned, as have our fathers. We have acted unjustly; we have wrought iniquity.
7. Our fathers did not understand your miracles in Egypt. They did not remember the multitude of your mercies. And they provoked you, while going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.
8. And he saved them for the sake of his name, so that he might make known his power.
9. And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up. And he led them into the abyss, as if into a desert.
10. And he saved them from the hand of those who hated them. And he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11. And the water covered those who troubled them. Not one of them remained.
12. And they believed his words, and they sang his praises.
13. As soon as they had finished, they forgot his works, and they would not endure his counsel.
14. And they coveted their desire in the desert, and they tempted God in a waterless place.
15. And he granted to them their request, and he sent abundance into their souls.
