⁷ I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord,
    the praises of the Lord,
according to all that the Lord has granted us,
    ^(A)and the great goodness to the house of Israel
that he has granted them according to his compassion,
    according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
⁸ For he said, “Surely they are my people,
    children who will not deal falsely.”
    And he became their Saviour.
^9 (B)In all their affliction he was afflicted,^[a]
    and the angel of his presence saved them;
^(C)in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;
    ^(D)he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
^10 (E)But they rebelled
    ^(F)and grieved his Holy Spirit;
therefore he turned to be their enemy,
    and himself fought against them.
¹¹ Then he remembered ^(G)the days of old,
    of Moses and his people.^[b]
(H)Where is he who brought them up out of the sea
    with the shepherds of his flock?
Where is he who put in the midst of them
    his Holy Spirit,
¹² who caused his glorious arm
    to go at the right hand of Moses,
^(I)who divided the waters before them
    ^(J)to make for himself an everlasting name,
¹³     who led them through the depths?
Like a horse in the desert,
    they did not stumble.
¹⁴ Like livestock that go down into the valley,
    ^(K)the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest.
So you led your people,
    ^(L)to make for yourself a glorious name.

^15 (M)Look down from heaven and see,
    ^(N)from your holy and beautiful^[c] habitation.
Where are ^(O)your zeal and your might?
    The stirring of your inner parts and your compassion
    are held back from me.
¹⁶ For ^(P)you are our Father,
    though Abraham does not know us,
    and Israel does not acknowledge us;
you, O Lord, are our Father,
    ^(Q)our Redeemer from of old is your name.
¹⁷ O Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways
    and ^(R)harden our heart, so that we fear you not?
^(S)Return for the sake of your servants,
    the tribes of your heritage.
^18 (T)Your holy people held possession for a little while;^{[d]
    (U)}our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
^19 (V)We have become like those over whom you have never ruled,
    like those who are not called by your name.
64 ^(W)Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,
    ^(X)that the mountains might quake at your presence—
^2 [e] as when fire kindles brushwood
    and the fire causes water to boil—
^(Y)to make your name known to your adversaries,
    and that the nations might tremble at your presence!
^3 (Z)When you did awesome things that we did not look for,
    you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
^4 (AA)From of old no one has heard
    or perceived by the ear,
^(AB)no eye has seen a God besides you,
    who acts for those who wait for him.
⁵ You meet him who joyfully works righteousness,
    those who remember you in your ways.
Behold, you were angry, and we sinned;
    in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?^[f]
6 (AC)We have all become like one who is unclean,
    and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.
^(AD)We all fade like a leaf,
    and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
^7 (AE)There is no one who calls upon your name,
    who rouses himself to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
    and have made us melt in^[g] the hand of our iniquities.
^8 (AF)But now, O Lord, you are our Father;
    ^(AG)we are the clay, and you are our potter;
    ^(AH)we are all the work of your hand.
^9 (AI)Be not so terribly angry, O Lord,
    ^(AJ)and remember not iniquity for ever.
    Behold, please look, we are all your people.
^10 (AK)Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
    Zion has become a wilderness,
    Jerusalem a desolation.
^11 (AL)Our holy and beautiful^[h] house,
    where our fathers praised you,
has been burned by fire,
    and all our pleasant places have become ruins.
^12 (AM)Will you restrain yourself at these things, O Lord?
    Will you keep silent, and afflict us so terribly?
