Isaiah 63:7-9
63:7 I will recount the gracious deeds of the LORD, the praiseworthy
acts of the LORD, because of all that the LORD has done for us, and the great favor to the
house of Israel that he has shown them according to his mercy, according to the abundance
of his steadfast love.
63:8 For he said, "Surely they are my people, children who will not deal falsely"; and he became their savior
63:9 in all their distress. It was no messenger or angel but his presence that saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
