The Lord Has Been Kind to His People

I will remember the kind things the Lord has done,
    and I will remember to praise him.
The Lord has given many good things
    to the family of Israel.
He has been very kind to us.
    He has shown us mercy.
He said, “These are my people.
    These are my real children.”
    So he saved them.
The people had many troubles,
    but he was not against them.
He loved them and felt sorry for them,
    so he saved them.
He sent his special angel to save them.
    He picked them up and carried them, just as he did long ago.

Praise and Prayer

I will tell of the kindnesses(A) of the Lord,
    the deeds for which he is to be praised,
    according to all the Lord has done for us—
yes, the many good things(B)
    he has done for Israel,
    according to his compassion(C) and many kindnesses.
He said, “Surely they are my people,(D)
    children who will be true to me”;
    and so he became their Savior.(E)
In all their distress he too was distressed,
    and the angel(F) of his presence(G) saved them.[a]
In his love and mercy he redeemed(H) them;
    he lifted them up and carried(I) them
    all the days of old.(J)
