You saw the oppression of our ancestors in Egypt(A)
and heard their cry at the Red Sea.
10 You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,
all his officials, and all the people of his land,(B)
for You knew how arrogantly they treated our ancestors.
You made a name for Yourself
that endures to this day.
11 You divided the sea before them,
and they crossed through it on dry ground.(C)
You hurled their pursuers into the depths
like a stone into churning waters.(D)
