7
Even though the Lord punished us as he had threatened,
8
we still did not turn to him and pray that we would abandon our evil thoughts.
9
We did not obey him or live by his just commands, so the Lord brought on us all the punishments he had kept ready for us.
11
"You, O Lord, are the God of Israel who brought your people out of Egypt with great power and with signs, miracles, and wonders. You showed your mighty strength and gained a glorious reputation, which is still recognized today.
