Psalm 106:10a "He saved them..."
Day 150 – Psalm 106
“He saved them…” Psalm 106:10a
SLAVES OF EGYPT
The children of Israel had been enslaved by Egypt for four hundred and thirty years (Exodus 12:41). When a nation has been enslaved for so many years, who would have imagined that it was possible to find freedom from oppression and slavery? It would take nothing less than God to deliver the children of Israel out of slavery!
“He saved them from the hand of him who hated them,
And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
The waters covered their enemies;
There was not one of them left.”
