God Will Forgive Israel

14 Shepherd Your people with Your staff,
The flock of Your heritage,
Who dwell [a]solitarily in a (A)woodland,
In the midst of Carmel;
Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead,
As in days of old.

  1. Micah 7:14 Alone
  2. Micah 7:15 Lit. him, collective for the captives

(A)In all their affliction He was [a]afflicted,
(B)And the Angel of His Presence saved them;
(C)In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;
And (D)He bore them and carried them
All the days of old.
10 But they (E)rebelled and (F)grieved His Holy Spirit;
(G)So He turned Himself against them as an enemy,
And He fought against them.

11 Then he (H)remembered the days of old,
Moses and his people, saying:
“Where is He who (I)brought them up out of the sea
With the [b]shepherd of His flock?
(J)Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them,
12 Who led them by the right hand of Moses,
(K)With His glorious arm,
(L)Dividing the water before them
To make for Himself an everlasting name,
13 (M)Who led them through the deep,
As a horse in the wilderness,
That they might not stumble?”

14 As a beast goes down into the valley,
And the Spirit of the Lord causes him to rest,
So You lead Your people,
(N)To make Yourself a glorious name.

A Prayer of Penitence

15 (O)Look down from heaven,
And see (P)from Your habitation, holy and glorious.
Where are Your zeal and Your strength,
The yearning (Q)of Your heart and Your mercies toward me?
Are they restrained?

12 For (A)God is my King from of old,
Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 (B)You divided the sea by Your strength;
You broke the heads of the [a]sea serpents in the waters.
14 You broke the heads of [b]Leviathan in pieces,
And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 (C)You broke open the fountain and the flood;
(D)You dried up mighty rivers.
16 The day is Yours, the night also is (E)Yours;
(F)You have prepared the light and the sun.
17 You have (G)set all the borders of the earth;
(H)You have made summer and winter.

18 Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Lord,
And that a foolish people has blasphemed Your name.
