God’s Compassion on Israel

God’s Compassion on Israel


14Shepherd with Your staff Your people,

the flock of Your inheritance.

They live alone in a woodland,

surrounded by pastures.[fn]

Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead,

as in the days of old.


15As in the days when you came out of Egypt,

I will show My wonders.

16Nations will see and be ashamed,

deprived of all their might.

They will put their hands over their mouths,

and their ears will become deaf.

17They will lick the dust like a snake,

like reptiles slithering on the ground.

They will crawl from their holes

in the presence of the LORD our God;

they will tremble in fear of You.


18Who is a God like You,

who pardons iniquity

and passes over the transgression

of the remnant of His inheritance—

who does not retain His anger forever,

because He delights in loving devotion?[fn]

19He will again have compassion on us;

He will vanquish our iniquities.

You will cast out all our sins

into the depths of the sea.

20You will show faithfulness to Jacob

and loving devotion to Abraham,

as You swore to our fathers

from the days of old.


7:14 Or in a woodland, in the midst of Carmel

7:18 Forms of the Hebrew chesed are translated here and in most cases throughout the Scriptures as loving devotion; the range of meaning includes love, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, and mercy, as well as loyalty to a covenant.
