4. Remember me, Lord, with the favor you show your people.Visit me with your saving help
5. so I can experience the good things your chosen ones experience,so I can rejoice in the joy of your nation,so I can praise along with your possession.
6. We have sinned—right along with our ancestors.We’ve done what is wrong.We’ve acted wickedly.
7. Our ancestors in Egypt didn’t understand your wondrous works.They didn’t remember how much faithful love you have.So they rebelled by the sea—at the Reed Sea.
8. But God saved them for the sake of his good name,to make known his mighty power.
9. God scolded the Reed Sea, and it dried right up;he led them through the deeps like they were a dry desert.
10. God saved them from hostile powers;he redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11. But the waters covered over their foes—not one of them survived!
12. So our ancestors trusted God’s words;they sang God’s praise.
