Yahweh’s kindness to his people

7 I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people,

and I will praise him for all that he has done.

Yahweh has done good things for us people [MTY] of Israel;

he has acted mercifully toward us,

and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.

8 Yahweh said, “These are my people;

they will not deceive me;”

so he rescued us.

9 When we had many troubles,

he was sad also.

He sent his angel to rescue us.

Because he loved us and was merciful to us,

he saved us;

it was as though he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years during which they were oppressed in Egypt.

10 But we rebelled against him,

and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad.

So he became like [MET] an enemy

who fought against us.

11 Then we thought about what happened long ago,

during the time when Moses led our ancestors out of Egypt.

We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the Red Sea

while Moses led them?

Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit

to be among our ancestors?

12 Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY],

and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it,

with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?

13 Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed?

They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.

14 They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley to rest,

and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest.

Yahweh, you led your people,

and you caused yourself [MTY] to ◄get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored►.”
