7. Our fathers did not considerYour wonders in Egypt;they did not remember the greatness of Your mercy,but rebelled against Him at the sea, by the Red Sea.
8. Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake,that He might make His mighty power known.
9. He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was driedup,so He led them through the depths as through the wilderness.
10. He saved them from the hand of him who hated themand redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11. The waters covered their enemies;there was not one of them left.
12. Then they believed His words;they sang His praise.
13. But they soon forgot His works;they did not wait for His counsel,
14. but they lusted exceedingly in the wildernessand tested God in the desert.
15. He gave them their request,but He sent a wasting disease on them.
16. They envied in the camp Mosesand Aaron, the holy priest of the Lord.
17. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathanand engulfed those led by Abiram.
18. A fire broke out among their company;the flame burned up the wicked.
19. They made a calf at Horeb,and worshipped the molded image.
20. Thus they changed the glory of Godfor the image of an ox that eats grass.
21. They forgot God, their Deliverer,who had done great things in Egypt,
22. wondrous works in the land of Ham,and marvelous deeds by the Red Sea.
23. Therefore He said that He would destroy them,had not Moses, His chosen one,stood before Him to intercede,to turn away His wrath from destroying them.
24. Then they despised the pleasant land;they did not believe His promise,
25. but they grumbled in their tents,and did not listen to the voice of the Lord.
26. Therefore He lifted up His hand against themand swore to overthrow them in the wilderness,
