the flock that is your possession.
They live aloneaa in a woodland
surrounded by pastures.
Let them graze in Bashan and Gileadab
as in ancient times.ac
15I will perform miracles for themA
as in the days of your exodus
from the land of Egypt.ad
16Nations will see and be ashamed
ofB all their power.
They will put their hands over their mouths,ae

like reptiles slithering on the ground.ah
They will tremble in the presence of the Lord our God;ai
they will stand in awe of you.
18Who is a God like you,aj
forgiving iniquity and passing over rebellionak
for the remnant of his inheritance?al
He does not hold on to his anger foreveram
because he delights in faithful love.an

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock of your inheritance,
who dwell alone in a forest
in the midst of a garden land;
let them graze in Bashan and Gilead
as in the days of old.
As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,
I will show them marvelous things.
The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might;
they shall lay their hands on their mouths;
their ears shall be deaf;
they shall lick the dust like a serpent,
like the crawling things of the earth;
they shall come trembling out of their strongholds;
they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,
and they shall be in fear of you.
Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock of your inheritance,
which lives by itself in a forest,
in fertile pasturelands.
Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead
as in days long ago.
“As in the days when you came out of Egypt,
I will show them my wonders.”
Nations will see and be ashamed,
deprived of all their power.
They will put their hands over their mouths
and their ears will become deaf.
They will lick dust like a snake,
like creatures that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling out of their dens;
they will turn in fear to the Lord our God
and will be afraid of you.
Who is a God like you,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy.

NLTNew Living Translation
O Lord, protect your people with your shepherd’s staff;
lead your flock, your special possession.
Though they live alone in a thicket
on the heights of Mount Carmel,
let them graze in the fertile pastures of Bashan and Gilead
as they did long ago.
“Yes,” says the Lord,
“I will do mighty miracles for you,
like those I did when I rescued you
from slavery in Egypt.”
All the nations of the world will stand amazed
at what the Lord will do for you.
They will be embarrassed
at their feeble power.
They will cover their mouths in silent awe,
deaf to everything around them.
Like snakes crawling from their holes,
they will come out to meet the Lord our God.
They will fear him greatly,
trembling in terror at his presence.
Where is another God like you,
who pardons the guilt of the remnant,
overlooking the sins of his special people?
You will not stay angry with your people forever,
because you delight in showing unfailing love.

Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock of your inheritance,
those dwelling alone in a forest
in the midst of Carmel.
Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead,
as in the days of old.
As in the days when you came out
from the land of Egypt
I will show him wondrous things.
The nations will see and be ashamed
because of all their might.
They will lay the hand on the mouth;
their ears will be deaf.
They will lick the dust like the serpent,
like the crawling things of the earth.
They will come trembling from their strongholds
to Yahweh our God.
Let them fear and be afraid of you.
Who is a God like you, forgiving sin
and passing over rebellion for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
for he delights in loyal love.

KJV 1900King James Version
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage,
Which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel:
Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt
Will I shew unto him marvellous things.
The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might:
They shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
They shall lick the dust like a serpent,
They shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth:
They shall be afraid of the Lord our God,
And shall fear because of thee.
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity,
And passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?
He retaineth not his anger for ever,
Because he delighteth in mercy.
