The Lord's Compassion on Israel

14 Be a shepherd to your people, Lord, the people you have chosen. Although they live apart in the wilderness, there is fertile land around them. Let them go and feed in the rich pastures of Bashan and Gilead, as they did long ago.

15 Work miracles for us,[a] Lord, as you did in the days when you brought us out of Egypt. 16 The nations will see this and be frustrated in spite of all their strength. In dismay they will close their mouths and cover their ears.

Prayer and Praise

14 Shepherd(A) your people with your staff,(B)
    the flock of your inheritance,
which lives by itself in a forest,
    in fertile pasturelands.[a](C)
Let them feed in Bashan(D) and Gilead(E)
    as in days long ago.(F)

15 “As in the days when you came out of Egypt,
    I will show them my wonders.(G)

16 Nations will see and be ashamed,(H)
    deprived of all their power.
They will put their hands over their mouths(I)
    and their ears will become deaf.
