5. I looked about, but there was no one to help,I was appalled that there was no one to lend support;So my own arm brought me victoryand my own wrath lent me support.
6. I trampled down the peoples in my anger,I made them drunk in my wrath,and I poured out their blood upon the ground.”
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 mercyand his many loving deeds.
8. He said: “They are indeed my people,children who are not disloyal.”So he became their savior
9. in their every affliction.It was not an envoy or a messenger,but his presence that saved them.Because of his love and pitythe Lord redeemed them,Lifting them up and carrying themall the days of old.
10. But they rebelledand grieved his holy spirit;So he turned to become their enemy,and warred against them.
11. Then they remembered the days of old, of Moses, his servant:Where is the one who brought up out of the seathe shepherd of his flock?Where is the one who placed in their midsthis holy spirit,
12. Who 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—
