7^* The loving deeds of the LORD I will recall,

the glorious acts of the LORD,

Because of all the LORD has done for us,

the immense goodness to the house of Israel,

Which he has granted according to his mercy

and his many loving deeds.^e

8He said: “They are indeed my people,

children who are not disloyal.”

So he became their savior

9in their every affliction.

It was not an envoy or a messenger,

but his presence that saved them.

Because of his love and pity

the LORD redeemed them,

Lifting them up and carrying them

all the days of old.^f

10But they rebelled

and grieved his holy spirit;

So he turned to become their enemy,

and warred against them.^g

11Then they remembered the days of old, of Moses, his servant:

Where is the one who brought up out of the sea

the shepherd of his flock?

Where is the one who placed in their midst

his holy spirit,^h

12Who guided Moses by the hand,

with his glorious arm?

Where is the one who divided the waters before them—

winning for himself an everlasting renown—

13Who guided them through the depths,

like horses in open country?

14As cattle going down into the valley,

they did not stumble.

The spirit of the LORD guided them.

Thus you led your people,

to make for yourself a glorious name.

15Look down from heaven and regard us

from your holy and glorious palace!

Where is your zealous care and your might,

your surge of pity?ⁱ

Your mercy hold not back!

16For you are our father.

Were Abraham not to know us,

nor Israel to acknowledge us,

You, LORD, are our father,

our redeemer you are named from of old.

17Why do you make us wander, LORD, from your ways,

and harden our hearts so that we do not fear you?^*

Return for the sake of your servants,

the tribes of your heritage.

18Why have the wicked invaded your holy place,

why have our enemies trampled your sanctuary?

19^* Too long have we been like those you do not rule,

on whom your name is not invoked.

Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,

with the mountains quaking before you,^j

The Calming of a Storm at Sea. 35^* On that day, as evening drew on, he said to them, “Let us cross to the other side.”^m 36Leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him. 37A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. 38Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” 39He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!”^* The wind ceased and there was great calm. 40Then he asked them, “Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?” 41^{* n} They were filled with great awe and said to one another, “Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”
