6

We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.

8

But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.

9

By his word the Red Sea was made dry: and he took them through the deep waters as through the waste land.

And the waters went over their haters; all of them came to an end.
