11  He will tend his flock like a ^oshepherd;

he will gather the lambs in his arms;

he will carry them in his bosom,

and gently lead those that are with young.

16  For you are our Father,

though Abraham does not know us,

and Israel does not acknowledge us;

you, O Lord, are our Father,

our Redeemer from of old is your name.

8  But now, O Lord, you are our ^sFather;

we are the ^tclay, and you are our potter;

we are all the work of your hand.
