Nevertheless He lookedupon their distressWhen He heardtheir cry;
And He rememberedHis covenantfor their sake, And relentedaccording to the greatnessof His lovingkindness.
Thus He rebukedthe RedSeaand it driedup, And He ledthem through the deeps,as through the wilderness.
I rememberthe daysof old;I meditateon allYour doings;I museon the workof Your hands.
Remember,O LORD,Your compassionand Your lovingkindnesses,For they have been from of old.
Do not castme awayfrom Your presenceAnd do not takeYour HolySpiritfrom me.
I will meditateon allYour workAnd museon Your deeds.
You ledYour peoplelike a flockBy the handof Mosesand Aaron.
But He ledforthHis own peoplelike sheepAnd guidedthem in the wildernesslike a flock;
The sonsof Israelwentthroughthe midstof the seaon the dryland,and the waters[were like] a wallto them on their righthandand on their left.
Thus the LORDsavedIsraelthat dayfrom the handof the Egyptians,and Israelsawthe Egyptiansdeadon the seashore.
Thussaysthe LORD,Who makesa waythrough the seaAnd a paththrough the mightywaters,
But they rebelledAnd grievedHis HolySpirit;Therefore He turnedHimself to become their enemy,He foughtagainst them.
Lookdownfrom heavenand seefrom Your holyand glorioushabitation;Whereare Your zealand Your mightydeeds?The stirringsof Your heartand Your compassionare restrainedtowardme.
"They did not say,'Whereis the LORDWho broughtus up out of the landof Egypt,Who ledus through the wilderness,Through a landof desertsand of pits,Through a landof droughtand of deepdarkness,Through a landthat noonecrossedAnd wherenomandwelt?'
"But finallyDanielcamein beforeme, whosenameis Belteshazzaraccording to the nameof my god,and in whomis a spiritof the holygods;and I relatedthe dreamto him, [saying],
But by a prophetthe LORDbroughtIsraelfrom Egypt,And by a prophethe was kept.
"In that dayI will raiseup the fallenboothof David,And wallup its breaches;I will also raiseup its ruinsAnd rebuildit as in the daysof old;
As for the promisewhichI madeyou when you cameout of Egypt,My Spiritis abidingin your midst;do not fear!'
Then he saidto me, "Thisis the wordof the LORDto Zerubbabelsaying,Not by mightnorby power,but by My Spirit,'saysthe LORDof hosts.
"Then I will comedownand speakwith you there,and I will takeof the Spiritwhois upon you, and will put[Him] upon them; and they shall bearthe burdenof the peoplewith you, so that you will not bear[it] all alone.
Then the LORDcamedownin the cloudand spoketo him; and He tookof the Spiritwhowas upon him and placed[Him] upon the seventyelders.And when the Spiritrestedupon them, they prophesied.But they did not do[it] again.
But Mosessaidto him, "Are you jealousfor my sake? Wouldthat allthe LORD'Speoplewere prophets,that the LORDwould putHis Spiritupon them!"
Nowthe Godof peace,who broughtup from the deadthe greatShepherdof the sheepthroughthe bloodof the eternalcovenant,[even] Jesusour Lord,
