Psalm 106:10
He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
8Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
9He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
10He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
12Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
