Psalm 136:10–15

10He struck down the firstborn of Egypt

His loving devotion endures forever.

11and brought Israel out from among them

His loving devotion endures forever.

12with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.

His loving devotion endures forever.

13He divided the Red Seaa in two

His loving devotion endures forever.

14and led Israel through the midst,

His loving devotion endures forever.

15but sweptb Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea.

His loving devotion endures forever.
