The Mercy of God Remembered

I will mention the steadfast love of the Lord
    and the praises of the Lord,
    according to all that the Lord has bestowed on us,
and the great goodness toward the house of Israel,
which He has bestowed on them
    according to His mercy,
    and according to the multitude of His kindnesses.
For He said, “Surely they are My people,
    sons who will not lie.”
    So He became their Savior.
In all their affliction He was afflicted,
    and the angel of His presence saved them;
in His love and in His mercy He redeemed them;
    and He lifted them and carried them
    all the days of old.
