8 He said, ‘Surely they are my people,children who will be true to me’;and so he became their Saviour.
9 In all their distress he too was distressed,and the angel of his presence saved them.In his love and mercy he redeemed them;he lifted them up and carried themall the days of old.
10 Yet they rebelledand grieved his Holy Spirit.So he turned and became their enemyand he himself fought against them.
11 Then his people recalled the days of old,the days of Moses and his people –where is he who brought them through the sea,with the shepherd of his flock?Where is he who sethis Holy Spirit among them,
12 who sent his glorious arm of powerto be at Moses’ right hand,who divided the waters before them,to gain for himself everlasting renown,
13 who led them through the depths?Like a horse in open country,they did not stumble;
14 like cattle that go down to the plain,they were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord.This is how you guided your peopleto make for yourself a glorious name.
