the flock that belongs to you,
which lives alone in a forest
in the midst of a garden land;
let them feed in Bashan and Gilead

show us[a] marvelous things.(A)

Isaiah 63:9-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 in all their distress.
It was no messenger or angel
but his presence that saved them;
in his love and pity it was he who redeemed them;
he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.(A)
10 But they rebelled
and grieved his holy spirit;
therefore he became their enemy;
he himself fought against them.(B)
11 Then they[a] remembered the days of old,
of Moses his servant.[b]
Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea
with the shepherds of his flock?
Where is the one who put within them
his holy spirit,(C)
12 who caused his glorious arm
to march at the right hand of Moses,
who divided the waters before them
to make for himself an everlasting name,(D)
13 who led them through the depths?
Like a horse in the desert,
they did not stumble.(E)
14 Like cattle that go down into the valley,
the spirit of the Lord gave them rest.
Thus you led your people,
to make for yourself a glorious name.(F)
A Prayer of Penitence
15 Look down from heaven and see,
from your holy and glorious habitation.
Where are your zeal and your might?
Your great pity and your compassion are withheld from me.(G)
Psalm 74:12-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Yet God my King is from of old,
working salvation in the earth.(A)
13 You divided the sea by your might;
you broke the heads of the dragons in the waters.(B)
14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan;
you gave him as food[a] for the creatures of the wilderness.
15 You cut openings for springs and torrents;
you dried up ever-flowing streams.(C)
16 Yours is the day, yours also the night;
you established the luminaries[b] and the sun.(D)
17 You have fixed all the bounds of the earth;
you made summer and winter.(E)
18 Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs,
and an impious people reviles your name.(F)
