Isaiah 63:7–14

Praise for Deliverance

⁷I will tell of the Lord’s unfailing love.

I will praise the Lord for all he has done.

I will rejoice in his great goodness to Israel,

which he has granted according to his mercy and love.

⁸He said, “They are my very own people.

Surely they will not betray me again.”

And he became their Savior.

⁹In all their suffering he also suffered,

and he personally rescued them.

In his love and mercy he redeemed them.

He lifted them up and carried them

through all the years.

¹⁰But they rebelled against him

and grieved his Holy Spirit.

So he became their enemy

and fought against them.

¹¹Then they remembered those days of old

when Moses led his people out of Egypt.

They cried out, “Where is the one who brought Israel through the sea,

with Moses as their shepherd?

Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit

to be among his people?

¹²Where is the one whose power was displayed

when Moses lifted up his hand—

the one who divided the sea before them,

making himself famous forever?

¹³Where is the one who led them through the bottom of the sea?

They were like fine stallions

racing through the desert, never stumbling.

¹⁴As with cattle going down into a peaceful valley,

the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest.

You led your people, Lord,

and gained a magnificent reputation.”
