14. Shepherd your people with your staff,the flock of your heritage,That lives apart in a woodland,in the midst of an orchard.Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead,as in the days of old;
15. As in the days when you came from the land of Egypt,show us wonderful signs.
16. The nations will see and will be put to shame,in spite of all their strength;They will put their hands over their mouths;their ears will become deaf.
17. They will lick the dust like a snake,like crawling things on the ground;They will come quaking from their strongholds;they will tremble in fear of you, the Lord, our God.
18. Who is a God like you, who removes guiltand pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance;Who does not persist in anger forever,but instead delights in mercy,
19. And will again have compassion on us,treading underfoot our iniquities?You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins;
20. You will show faithfulness to Jacob,and loyalty to Abraham,As you have sworn to our ancestorsfrom days of old.
