Context of Isaiah 63:11

9When his people suffered, he also had pain. He sent his own angel to go and save them. Because he loved them and he was kind to them, he redeemed them. He lifted them up and he carried them, through all the years long ago. 10But they turned against him. They made his Holy Spirit angry. So he then became their enemy. He fought against them. Then they remembered past years, when Moses led their ancestors out of Egypt. They said, ‘Where is the Lord now, when we need him? He brought his people safely through the sea, with Moses as their leader. He caused his Holy Spirit to work among them. 12He caused his power to be with Moses, as Moses raised his arm over the sea. He caused the waters to become separate so that his people could go across. In that way, he caused his name always to be famous. 13He led them through the deep water of the sea. They ran across like horses on open ground, and they did not fall.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Then he remembered - He did not forget his solemn premises to be their protector and their God.
