(B)And the Angel of His Presence saved them;
(C)In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;
And (D)He bore them and carried them
All the days of old.
10 But they (E)rebelled and (F)grieved His Holy Spirit;
(G)So He turned Himself against them as an enemy,
And He fought against them.

11 Then he (H)remembered the days of old,
Moses and his people, saying:
“Where is He who (I)brought them up out of the sea
With the [b]shepherd of His flock?
(J)Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them,
12 Who led them by the right hand of Moses,
(K)With His glorious arm,
(L)Dividing the water before them
To make for Himself an everlasting name,
13 (M)Who led them through the deep,
As a horse in the wilderness,
That they might not stumble?”

In all their distress he too was distressed,

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)

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)

Like a horse in open country,
    they did not stumble;(R)
