Isaiah 63:7–14

The Lord’s People Pray for His Help

⁷I will acknowledge the Lord’s acts of mercy, 

and ⸤sing⸥ the praises of the Lord, 

because of everything that the Lord has done for us. 

He has done many good things for the nation of Israel 

because of his compassion and his unlimited mercy. 

⁸He said, “They are my people, 

children who will not lie to me.” 

So he became their Savior. 

⁹In all their troubles he was troubled, 

and he was the Messenger who saved them. 

In his love and compassion he reclaimed them. 

He always held them and carried them in the past. 

¹⁰But they rebelled and offended his Holy Spirit. 

So he turned against them as their enemy; he fought against them. 

¹¹Then his people remembered Moses and the distant past. 

Where is the one who brought them out of the sea 

with the shepherds of his flock? 

Where is the one who put his Holy Spirit in them? 

¹²Where is the one who sent his powerful arm 

to support the right hand of Moses? 

Where is the one who divided the water in front of them 

to make an everlasting name for himself? 

¹³Where is the one who led them through the deep water? 

Like horses in the wilderness, 

they didn’t stumble. 

¹⁴Like animals going down into a valley, 

they were given rest by the Lord’s Spirit. 

In this way you guided your people 

to make an honored name for yourself.
