Rebellion in Egypt

We have sinned along with our fathers.
We have become guilty. We have acted wickedly.
Our fathers in Egypt did not reflect on your wonders.
They did not remember your abundant mercies,
so they rebelled beside the sea, by the Red Sea.

God’s Grace

Nevertheless, he saved them for his name’s sake,
    to make his might known.

We have sinned,(A) even as our ancestors(B) did;
    we have done wrong and acted wickedly.(C)
When our ancestors were in Egypt,
    they gave no thought(D) to your miracles;
they did not remember(E) your many kindnesses,
    and they rebelled by the sea,(F) the Red Sea.[a]
Yet he saved them(G) for his name’s sake,(H)
    to make his mighty power(I) known.
