Psalms 106:7
5 that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance.
6 We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.
8 Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
