Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Jeg vil forkynne Herrens nåde og barmhjertighet. Jeg vil prise Herren for alt det Han har gjort for oss, og den mangfoldige godheten mot Israels folk. I sin store nåde har Han vist dem barmhjertighet. For Han sa: «De er Mitt folk. De svikter ikke.» Slik ble Han Frelseren for dem. Midt i all deres nød var det ingen nød lenger, for Engelen for Hans ansikt frelste dem. I sin kjærlighet og sin medlidenhet befridde Han dem – alltid løftet Han dem opp og bar dem. Men de gjorde opprør mot Ham og gjorde Hans Hellige Ånd sorg. Da vendte Han seg mot dem og ble deres fiende, og Han kjempet mot dem.
