The Lord's Mercy Remembered

I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord,
    the praises of the Lord,
according to all that the Lord has granted us,
    (A)and the great goodness to the house of Israel
that he has granted them according to his compassion,
    according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
For he said, “Surely they are my people,
    children who will not deal falsely.”
    And he became their Savior.
(B)In all their affliction he was afflicted,[a]
    and the angel of his presence saved them;
(C)in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;
    (D)he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.

Remembering Yahweh’s Mercy

I will mention the loyal love of Yahweh, the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh has done for us,
    and the greatness of goodness to the house of Israel that he has done to them according to his mercy and the abundance of his loyal love.

And he said, “Surely my people are children; they will not break faith.” And he became a Savior to them.

In all their distress, there was no distress,[a]
    and the messenger of his presence[b] saved them,
    in his love and compassion he himself redeemed them,
and he lifted them up,
    and he supported them all the days of old.
