God’s Mercies Recalled

7 I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion

and His praiseworthy acts,

because of all that the LORD has done for us—

the many good things for the house of Israel

according to His great compassion and loving devotion.

8 For He said, “They are surely My people,

sons who will not be disloyal.”

So He became their Savior.

9 In all their distress, He too was afflicted,

and the Angel of His Presence [fn] saved them.

In His love and compassion He redeemed them;

He lifted them up and carried them

all the days of old.

10 But they rebelled

and grieved His Holy Spirit.

So He turned and became their enemy,

and He Himself fought against them.

11 Then His people remembered the days of old,

the days of Moses.

Where is He who brought them through the sea

with the shepherds of His flock?

Where is the One who set

His Holy Spirit among them,

12 who sent His glorious arm

to lead them by the right hand of Moses,

who divided the waters before them

to gain for Himself everlasting renown,

13 who led them through the depths

like a horse in the wilderness,

so that they did not stumble?

14 Like cattle going down to the valley,

the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest.

You led Your people this way

to make for Yourself a glorious name.
