• Isa 63:7-9 : 7 I will recount the LORD's kindnesses, the praises of the LORD, according to all the LORD has done for us—yes, the great goodness to the house of Israel, which he has granted them according to his compassion and the abundance of his steadfast love. 8 He said, "Surely they are my people, children who will not act falsely." And he became their Savior. 9 In all their distress, he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and compassion, he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old. 10 Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought against them. 11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people: Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea, along with the shepherds of his flock? Where is the one who set his Holy Spirit among them, 12 who sent his glorious arm of power to be at Moses' right hand, who divided the waters before them to gain for himself an everlasting name, 13 who led them through the depths? Like a horse in open country, they did not stumble; 14 like cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. This is how you guided your people to make for yourself a glorious name. 15 Look down from heaven and see, from your holy and glorious dwelling. Where are your zeal and your might? Your tenderness and compassion are withheld from us. 16 But you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name.

He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will exult over you with joyful singing. 18 I will gather those who grieve over the appointed festivals, who were burdened with disgrace because of her. 19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors. I will save the lame and gather the scattered. I will make them a praise and a name in every land where they have suffered shame. 20 At that time, I will bring you in; at the time I gather you.
