The Lord's Goodness to Israel (ISA 63:7-14)

[63:7] I will tell of the Lord's unfailing love; I praise him for all he has done for us. He has richly blessed the people of Israel because of his mercy and constant love.

[63:8] The Lord said, “They are my people; they will not deceive me.” And so he saved them

[63:9] from all their suffering. It was not an angel, but the Lord himself who saved them. In his love and compassion he rescued them. He had always taken care of them in the past,

[63:10] but they rebelled against him and made his holy spirit sad. So the Lord became their enemy and fought against them.

[63:11] But then they remembered the past, the days of Moses, the servant of the Lord, and they asked, “Where now is the Lord, who saved the leaders of his people from the sea? Where is the Lord, who gave his spirit to Moses? Led by the Lord, they were as sure-footed as wild horses, and never stumbled.

[63:14] As cattle are led into a fertile valley, so the Lord gave his people rest. He led his people and brought honor to his name.
