Isaiah 63:7–14

The Lord’s Mercy Remembered

⁷I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord,

the praises of the Lord,

according to all that the Lord has granted us,

^uand the great goodness to the house of Israel

that he has granted them according to his compassion,

according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

⁸For he said, “Surely they are my people,

children who will not deal falsely.”

And he became their Savior.

^9vIn all their affliction he was afflicted,³

and the angel of his presence saved them;

^win his love and in his pity he redeemed them;

^xhe lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.

^10yBut they rebelled

^zand grieved his Holy Spirit;

therefore he turned to be their enemy,

and himself fought against them.

¹¹Then he remembered ^athe days of old,

of Moses and his people.⁴

^bWhere is he who brought them up out of the sea

with the shepherds of his flock?

Where is he who put in the midst of them

his Holy Spirit,

¹²who caused his glorious arm

to go at the right hand of Moses,

^cwho divided the waters before them

^dto make for himself an everlasting name,

¹³who led them through the depths?

Like a horse in the desert,

they did not stumble.

¹⁴Like livestock that go down into the valley,

^ethe Spirit of the Lord gave them rest.

So you led your people,

^dto make for yourself a glorious name.
