Isaiah 63:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
Remembrance of Grace
7 I will make known the Lord’s faithful love
and the Lord’s praiseworthy acts,
because of all the Lord has done for us—
even the many good things
he has done for the house of Israel,
which he did for them based on his compassion
and the abundance of his faithful love.
8 He said, “They are indeed my people,
children who will not be disloyal,”
and he became their Savior.
9 In all their suffering, he suffered,[a](A)
and the angel of his presence saved them.
He redeemed them
because of his love and compassion;(B)
he lifted them up and carried them
all the days of the past.(C)

International Standard Version
God’s Grace to Israel
7 I will recount the gracious deeds of the Lord,
the praiseworthy acts of the Lord,
according to all the Lord has done for us—
yes, the great goodness to the house of Israel
that he has granted them according to his mercy,
according to the abundance of his gracious love.
8 For he said, “Surely they are my people,
children who won’t act falsely.”
And so he became their savior.
9 In all their distress he wasn’t distressed,[a]
but the angel of his presence saved them;
in his acts of love[b] and in his acts[c] of pity he redeemed them;
he carried them and lifted them up[d] all the days of old.
