Isaiah 63:7-14

7I will tell of the faithful acts of the Lord, of the Lord’s praiseworthy deeds. I will tell about all the Lord did for us, the many good things he did for the family of Israel, because of his compassion and great faithfulness.

8He said, “Certainly they will be my people, children who are not disloyal.” He became their deliverer.

9Through all that they suffered, he suffered too. The messenger sent from his very presence delivered them. In his love and mercy he protected them; he lifted them up and carried them throughout ancient times.

10But they rebelled and offended his holy Spirit, so he turned into an enemy and fought against them.

11His people remembered the ancient times. Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea, along with the shepherd of his flock? Where is the one who placed his holy Spirit among them,

12the one who made his majestic power available to Moses, who divided the water before them, gaining for himself a lasting reputation,

13who led them through the deep water? Like a horse running on flat land they did not stumble.

14Like an animal that goes down into a valley to graze, so the Spirit of the Lord granted them rest. In this way you guided your people, gaining for yourself an honored reputation.
