Isaiah 63:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ I will recount the Lord’s faithful acts;
    I will sing the Lord’s praises,
    because of all the Lord did for us,
    for God’s great favor toward the house of Israel.
    God treated them compassionately
    and with deep affection.
⁸ God said, “Truly, they are my people,
    children who won’t do what is wrong.”
    God became their savior.
⁹ During all their distress, God also was distressed,
    so a messenger who served him saved them.
In love and mercy God redeemed them,
    lifting and carrying them throughout earlier times.
