11 Then his people recalled[a] the days of old,
    the days of Moses and his people—
where is he who brought them through the sea,(A)
    with the shepherd of his flock?(B)
Where is he who set
    his Holy Spirit(C) among them,
12 who sent his glorious arm(D) of power
    to be at Moses’ right hand,
who divided the waters(E) before them,
    to gain for himself everlasting renown,(F)
13 who led(G) them through the depths?(H)
Like a horse in open country,
    they did not stumble;(I)
14 like cattle that go down to the plain,
    they were given rest(J) by the Spirit of the Lord.
This is how you guided your people
    to make for yourself a glorious name.

  1. Isaiah 63:11 Or But may he recall

11 Then[a] his people remembered the days of old, of Moses.
    Where is the one who led up them from the sea with the shepherds of his flock?
Where is the one who puts his Holy Spirit[b] inside him,
12     who made[c] his magnificent arm move at[d] the right hand of Moses,
who divided[e] the waters before them,[f]
    to make an everlasting name for himself,
13 who led[g] them through the depths?
    They did not stumble like a horse in the desert;
14 like cattle in the valley that goes down, the Spirit of Yahweh gave him rest,[h]
    so you lead your people to make a magnificent name for yourself.
