Isaiah 63:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁸ For he said, ‘Surely they are my people,
    children who will not deal falsely’;
and he became their saviour
⁹     in all their distress.
It was no messenger^[a] or angel
    but his presence that saved them;^[b]
in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;
    he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
