Quick answer
God answers that, as in the exodus from Egypt, He will again show His people marvelous things. It promises a new display of redeeming power like the great deliverance of old.
Overview
The LORD responds to the prayer by pledging wonders to rival the exodus, "I will show them marvelous things." The first redemption becomes the pattern and pledge of a greater one to come. This anticipates the ultimate exodus accomplished in Christ, who leads His people out of bondage to sin and death.
