11. But then his people remembered what happened long ago.They remembered Moses.Where is the Lord who brought the people through the sea?Where is the one who brought them with the leaders of his people?Where is the onewho put his Holy Spirit among them?
12. The Lord led Moses by the right hand.The Lord led him by his wonderful power.The Lord divided the water before them so the people could walk through the sea.And by this the Lord made his name famous forever.
13. The Lord led the people through the deep waters.Like a horse walking through a desert,the people did not stumble.
14. Like cattle that go down to the valley,the Spirit of the Lord led the people to a place of rest.Lord, that is the way you led your people.And by this you made your name wonderful.
15. Lord, look down from the heavens and see.Look at us from your wonderful holy home in heaven.Where is your strong love and power?Why are you keeping your love and mercy from us?
16. You are our father.Abraham doesn’t know we are his children.Israel doesn’t know who we are.Lord, you are our father.You are called “the one who has always saved us.”
17. Lord, why are you making us wander from your ways?Why do you make us stubborn so that we don’t honor you?For our sake come back to us.We are your servants, and we belong to you.
18. Your people had your Temple for a while.But now our enemies have walked on your holy place and crushed it.
19. You have never ruled over some people.They have never worn your name.And we have become like those people.
