¹⁴Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest. Let them feed in the middle of fertile pasture land, in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

¹⁵"As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things."

¹⁸Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn't retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.

¹⁹He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot. You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

²⁰You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

²LORD, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.

³You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah.

⁴You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.

⁵Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.

⁶Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?

⁷Won't you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

⁸Show us your loving kindness, LORD. Grant us your salvation.

⁴⁶While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.

⁴⁷One said to him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you."

⁴⁸But he answered him who spoke to him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"

⁴⁹He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, "Behold, my mother and my brothers!

⁵⁰For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother."
