God’s Grace to Israel

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.
For he said, “Surely they are my people,
    children who won’t act falsely.”
        And so he became their savior.
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.
