Isaiah 63:7–14

The Lord’s Kindness to His People

⁷I will tell about the Lord’s kindness

and praise him for everything he has done.

I will praise the Lord for the many good things he has given us

and for his goodness to the people of Israel.

He has shown great mercy to us

and has been very kind to us.

⁸He said, “These are my people;

my children will not lie to me.”

So he saved them.

⁹When they suffered, he suffered also.

He sent his own angel to save them.

Because of his love and kindness, he saved them.

Since long ago he has picked them up and carried them.

¹⁰But they turned against him

and made his Holy Spirit very sad.

So he became their enemy,

and he fought against them.

¹¹But then his people remembered what happened long ago,

in the days of Moses and the Israelites with him.

Where is the Lord who brought the people through the sea,

with the leaders of his people?

Where is the one

who put his Holy Spirit among them,

¹²who led Moses by the right hand

with his wonderful power,

who divided the water before them

to make his name famous forever,

¹³who led the people through the deep waters?

Like a horse walking through a desert,

the people did not stumble.

¹⁴Like cattle that go down to the valley,

the Spirit of the Lord gave the people a place to rest.

Lord, that is the way you led your people,

and by this you won for yourself wonderful fame.
