I will [a]remember the mercy of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according unto all that the Lord hath given us, and for the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath given them according to his tender love, and according to his great mercies.

For he said, Surely they are my [b]people, children that will not lie: so he was their Savior.

In all their troubles he was [c]troubled, and the Angel [d]of his presence saved them: in his love and in his mercy he redeemed them, and he bare them and carried them always continually.
