63:7 I will tell of the faithful acts of the Lord,

of the Lord’s praiseworthy deeds.

I will tell about all ¹  the Lord did for us,

the many good things he did for the family of Israel, ² 

because of ³  his compassion and great faithfulness.

63:8 He said, “Certainly they will be my people,

children who are not disloyal.” ⁴ 

He became their deliverer.

63:9 Through all that they suffered, he suffered too. ⁵ 

The messenger sent from his very presence ⁶  delivered them.

In his love and mercy he protected ⁷  them;

he lifted them up and carried them throughout ancient times. ⁸ 

63:10 But they rebelled and offended ⁹  his holy Spirit, ¹⁰ 

so he turned into an enemy

and fought against them.
