I will tell about all15 the Lord did for us,

the many good things he did for the family of Israel,16

because of17 his compassion and great faithfulness.

63:8He said, “Certainly they will be my people,

children who are not disloyal.”18

He became their deliverer.

63:9Through all that they suffered, he suffered too.19

The messenger sent from his very presence20 delivered them.

In his love and mercy he protected21 them;

he lifted them up and carried them throughout ancient times.22

  3. 17 Heb “according to.”
  4. 18 Heb “children [who] do not act deceitfully.” Here the verb refers to covenantal loyalty.

See also Ps 139:7, where God’s “Spirit” seems to be equated with his “presence” (literally, “face”) in the synonymous parallelistic structure.
