Isaiah

Isaiah 63:9–14

⁹In all their distress, He too was afflicted,

and the Angel of His Presence^b saved them.

In His love and compassion He redeemed them;

He lifted them up and carried them

all the days of old.

¹⁰But they rebelled

and grieved His Holy Spirit.

So He turned and became their enemy,

and He Himself fought against them.

¹¹Then His people remembered the days of old,

the days of Moses.

Where is He who brought them through the sea

with the shepherds of His flock?

Where is the One who set

His Holy Spirit among them,

¹²who sent His glorious arm

to lead them by the right hand of Moses,

who divided the waters before them

to gain for Himself everlasting renown,

¹³who led them through the depths

like a horse in the wilderness,

so that they did not stumble?

¹⁴Like cattle going down to the valley,

the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest.

You led Your people this way

to make for Yourself a glorious name.
