* I will make mention of the mercies of the LORD , and the praises of the LORD , according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us ; and the great goodness toward the house of Israel , which He hath bestowed on them according to His compassions , and according to the multitude of His mercies . * For He said : 'Surely , they are My people , children that will not deal falsely '; so He was their Saviour . * In all their affliction He was afflicted , and the angel of His presence saved them ; in His love and in His pity He redeemed them ; and He bore them , and carried them all the days of old . * But they rebelled , and grieved His holy spirit ; therefore He was turned to be their enemy , Himself fought against them . * Then His people remembered the days of old , the days of Moses : 'Where is He that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of His flock ? Where is He that put His holy spirit in the midst of them ? * That caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses ? That divided the water before them , to make Himself an everlasting name ? * That led them through the deep , as a horse in the wilderness , without stumbling ? * As the cattle that go down into the valley , the spirit of the LORD caused them to rest ; so didst Thou lead Thy people , to make Thyself a glorious name .' * Look down from heaven , and see , even from Thy holy and glorious habitation ; Where is Thy zeal and Thy mighty acts , the yearning of Thy heart and Thy compassions , now restrained toward me ? * For Thou art our Father ; for Abraham knoweth us not , and Israel doth not acknowledge us ; Thou , O LORD , art our Father , our Redeemer from everlasting is Thy name . * O LORD , why dost Thou make us to err from Thy ways , and hardenest our heart from Thy fear ? Return for Thy servants ' sake , the tribes of Thine inheritance . * Thy holy people they have well nigh driven out , our adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary . * We are become as they over whom Thou never borest rule , as they that were not called by Thy name .
