For He said, “Certainly they are (A)My people,
Sons who will not deal falsely.”
So He became their (B)Savior.
In all their distress [a](C)He was distressed,
And the (D)angel of His presence saved them;
In His (E)love and in His mercy He (F)redeemed them,
And He (G)lifted them and carried them all the days of old.
10 But they (H)rebelled
And grieved His (I)Holy Spirit;
Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy,
He fought against them.

In his love and mercy he redeemed(E) them;
    he lifted them up and carried(F) them
