“I will tell of the Lord’s unfailing love. I will praise the Lord for all He has done. I will rejoice in His great goodness to Israel, which He has granted according to His mercy and love.
He said,’They are my very own people. Surely they will not betray me again.’ And He became their Savior. In all their suffering, He also has suffered, and He personally rescued them. In His love and mercy he redeemed them.He lifted them up and carried them through all the years. But they rebelled against Him and grieved His Holy Spirit. So He became their enemy and fought against them.
They remembered those days of old when Moses led his people our of Egypt. They cried out, ‘Where is the one who brought Israel through the sea, with Moses as their shepherd? Where is the one who sends His Holy Spirit to be among His people? Where is the one whose power was displayed when Moses lifted up his hand – the one who divided the sea before them, making himself famous forever? Where is the one who led them through the bottom of the sea? They were like fine stallions racing through the desert, never stumbling. As with cattle going down into a peaceful valley, the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. You led your people, Lord, and gained a magnificent reputation!'” j. (vv. 7-14, NLT)
