Psalms 106:8-12

106:8 Yet he delivered them for the sake of his reputation, ¹ 

that he might reveal his power.

106:9 He shouted at ²  the Red Sea and it dried up;

he led them through the deep water as if it were a desert.

106:10 He delivered them from the power ³  of the one who hated them,

and rescued ⁴  them from the power ⁵  of the enemy.

106:11 The water covered their enemies;

not even one of them survived. ⁶ 

106:12 They believed his promises; ⁷ 

they sang praises to him.
