who brought us up from the land of Egypt,

in a land of deserts and pits,
in a land of drought and deep darkness,
in a land that none passes through,
where no man dwells?’
Isaiah 63:7-14
English Standard Version
The Lord's Mercy Remembered
7 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.
8 For he said, “Surely they are my people,
children who will not deal falsely.”
And he became their Savior.
9 (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.
10 (E)But they rebelled
(F)and grieved his Holy Spirit;
therefore he turned to be their enemy,
and himself fought against them.
11 Then he remembered (G)the days of old,
of Moses and his people.[b]
(H)Where is he who brought them up out of the sea
with the shepherds of his flock?
Where is he who put in the midst of them
his Holy Spirit,
12 who caused his glorious arm
to go at the right hand of Moses,
(I)who divided the waters before them
(J)to make for himself an everlasting name,
13 who led them through the depths?
Like a horse in the desert,
they did not stumble.
14 Like livestock that go down into the valley,
(K)the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest.
So you led your people,
(L)to make for yourself a glorious name.

Nehemiah 9:12-21
English Standard Version
12 By (A)a pillar of cloud you led them in the day, and by a pillar of fire in the night to light for them the way in which they should go. 13 (B)You came down on Mount Sinai (C)and spoke with them from heaven and gave them (D)right rules and true laws, good statutes and commandments, 14 (E)and you made known to them your holy Sabbath and commanded them commandments and statutes and a law by Moses your servant. 15 (F)You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger and (G)brought water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and you (H)told them to go in to possess the land that you had sworn to give them.
16 “But they and our fathers (I)acted presumptuously and stiffened their neck and did not obey your commandments. 17 They refused to obey (J)and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt.[a] But you are a God ready to forgive, (K)gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them. 18 Even (L)when they had made for themselves a golden[b] calf and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ (M)and had committed great blasphemies, 19 you (N)in your great mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. (O)The pillar of cloud to lead them in the way did not depart from them by day, (P)nor the pillar of fire by night to light for them the way by which they should go. 20 (Q)You gave your good Spirit to instruct them (R)and did not withhold your manna from their mouth and gave them water for their thirst. 21 (S)Forty years you sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell.

3 Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and (A)all the rules.[a] And all the people answered with one voice and said, (B)“All the words that the Lord has spoken we will do.” 4 And (C)Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. He rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve (D)pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 And he sent young men of the people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord. 6 And (E)Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar. 7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it in the hearing of the people. And they said, (F)“All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.” 8 (G)And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words.”

The Song of Moses
15 Then Moses and the people of Israel (C)sang this song to the Lord, saying,
(D)“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider[a] he has thrown into the sea.
2 (E)The Lord is my strength and my (F)song,
and he has become (G)my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
(H)my father's God, and (I)I will exalt him.
3 The Lord is (J)a man of war;
(K)the Lord is his name.
4 (L)“Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea,
and his chosen (M)officers were sunk in the Red Sea.
5 The (N)floods covered them;
they (O)went down into the depths like a stone.
6 (P)Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,
your right hand, O Lord, (Q)shatters the enemy.
7 In the (R)greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;
you send out your fury; it (S)consumes them like stubble.
8 At the (T)blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
the (U)floods stood up in a heap;
the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, (V)‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
I (W)will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
10 You (X)blew with your wind; the (Y)sea covered them;
they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 (Z)“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in (AA)glorious deeds, (AB)doing wonders?
12 You stretched out (AC)your right hand;
the earth swallowed them.
13 “You have (AD)led in your steadfast love the people whom (AE)you have redeemed;
you have (AF)guided them by your strength to your holy abode.
14 (AG)The peoples have heard; they tremble;
pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Now are the chiefs of Edom (AH)dismayed;
trembling seizes the leaders of (AI)Moab;
(AJ)all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
16 Terror and (AK)dread fall upon them;
because of the greatness of your arm, they are still (AL)as a stone,
till your people, O Lord, pass by,
till the people pass by whom (AM)you have purchased.
17 You will bring them in and (AN)plant them on your own mountain,
the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode,
(AO)the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.
18 (AP)The Lord will reign forever and ever.”
19 For when (AQ)the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, (AR)the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea. 20 Then (AS)Miriam (AT)the prophetess, the (AU)sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and (AV)all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing.
