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.

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.

Remember (A)your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and (B)imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is (C)the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be (D)led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, (E)not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. 10 We have an altar (F)from which those who serve the tent[a] have no right to eat. 11 For (G)the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned (H)outside the camp. 12 So Jesus also (I)suffered (J)outside the gate in order to sanctify the people (K)through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear (L)the reproach he endured. 14 For (M)here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
