Psalms 106:9
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.
8 Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.
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.
11 The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.
