⁸The Lord said, “They are my people; they will not deceive me.” And so he saved them ⁹from all their suffering. It was not an angel, but the Lord himself who saved them. In his love and compassion he rescued them. He had always taken care of them in the past, ¹⁰but they rebelled against him and made his holy spirit sad. So the Lord became their enemy and fought against them.

¹¹But then they^j remembered the past, the days of Moses, the servant of the Lord, and they asked, “Where now is the Lord, who saved the leaders of his people from the sea? Where is the Lord, who gave his spirit to Moses? ^12–13^*Where is the Lord, who by his power did great things through Moses, dividing the waters of the sea and leading his people through the deep water, to win everlasting fame for himself?”

Led by the Lord, they were as sure-footed as wild horses, and never stumbled. ¹⁴As cattle are led into a fertile valley, so the Lord gave his people rest. He led his people and brought honour to his name.
