For he said, ‘Surely they are my people,
    children who will not deal falsely’;
and he became their saviour
    in all their distress.
It was no messenger[a] or angel
    but his presence that saved them;[b]
in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;
    he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.

    and grieved his holy spirit;
therefore he became their enemy;
    he himself fought against them.
