5. I looked around, but I saw no one to help me.I was surprised that no one supported me.So I used my own power to save my people.My own anger supported me.
6. While I was angry, I walked on the nations.In my anger I punished themand poured their blood on the ground.”
7. I will tell about the Lord’s kindness.And I will praise him for what he has done.He has given many good things to us.He has been very good to the people of Israel.The Lord has shown mercy to us.And he has been kind to us.
8. The Lord said, “These are my people.My children will not lie to me.”So the Lord saved them.
9. When they suffered, he suffered also.He sent his own angel to save them.Because of his love and kindness, the Lord saved them.Since long ago he has picked them up and carried them.
10. But they turned against the Lord.They made his Holy Spirit very sad.So the Lord became their enemy.And he fought against them.
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.”
