7  I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord,

the praises of the Lord,

according to all that the Lord has granted us,

^uand the great goodness to the house of Israel

that he has granted them according to his compassion,

according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

8  For he said, “Surely they are my people,

children who will not deal falsely.”

And he became their Savior.

9  ^vIn all their affliction he was afflicted,¹

and the angel of his presence saved them;

^win his love and in his pity he redeemed them;

^xhe lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
