I will tell of the loving kindnesses of Yahweh
    and the praises of Yahweh,
    according to all that Yahweh has given to us,
and the great goodness toward the house of Israel,
    which he has given to them according to his mercies,
    and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
For he said, “Surely, they are my people,
    children who will not deal falsely;”
    so he became their Savior.
In all their affliction he was afflicted,
    and the angel of his presence saved them.
In his love and in his pity he redeemed them.
    He bore them,
    and carried them all the days of old.

Prayer of yearning

I will recount the Lord’s faithful acts;
    I will sing the Lord’s praises,
    because of all the Lord did for us,
    for God’s great favor toward the house of Israel.
    God treated them compassionately
    and with deep affection.
God said, “Truly, they are my people,
    children who won’t do what is wrong.”
    God became their savior.
During all their distress, God also was distressed,
    so a messenger who served him saved them.
In love and mercy God redeemed them,
    lifting and carrying them throughout earlier times.
