Isaiah 63:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶ I trampled down peoples in my anger,
    I crushed them in my wrath,
    and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.’

⁷ I will recount the gracious deeds of the Lord,
    the praiseworthy acts of the Lord,
because of all that the Lord has done for us,
    and the great favour to the house of Israel
that he has shown them according to his mercy,
    according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
⁸ For he said, ‘Surely they are my people,
    children who will not deal falsely’;
and he became their saviour
