And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

In all their distress he too was distressed,
    and the angel(A) of his presence(B) saved them.[a]
In his love and mercy he redeemed(C) them;
    he lifted them up and carried(D) them
    all the days of old.(E)
10 Yet they rebelled(F)
    and grieved his Holy Spirit.(G)
So he turned and became their enemy(H)
    and he himself fought(I) against them.

11 Then his people recalled[b] the days of old,
    the days of Moses and his people—
where is he who brought them through the sea,(J)
    with the shepherd of his flock?(K)
Where is he who set
    his Holy Spirit(L) among them,
12 who sent his glorious arm(M) of power
    to be at Moses’ right hand,
who divided the waters(N) before them,
    to gain for himself everlasting renown,(O)
13 who led(P) them through the depths?(Q)
Like a horse in open country,
    they did not stumble;(R)
