Psalms 106:8

SalvationGod's love

6 We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

7 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.

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.

10 He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
