Micah 7:14-20
Micah 7:14-20 TPT
Our kind Shepherd, watch over us, the flock that is your special inheritance. With your staff, lead your people to pasture. For we are like a flock confined to live in a forest with meadowland all around us. Let us graze again in the fertile fields of Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old. “I will show you mighty miracles as in the days when you came out of Egypt.” When the nations see your miracles, they will be ashamed, seeing that their power counts for nothing. They will put their hands over their mouths, too dumbfounded by your might to even speak, and their ears will become deaf. Let them lick the dust like snakes, like the crawling things of the earth. Let them come slinking out of their strongholds, trembling in terror before you, YAHWEH. Who is a merciful God like you? Your grace wipes the slate clean of guilt and pardons the rebellion of the remnant of your people. You don’t hold your anger against us forever, but you delight in showing faithful, tender love. Once more we ask: have tender mercy on us, tread our iniquities under your feet, and hurl all our sins to the bottom of the sea. You will demonstrate endless faithfulness to Jacob’s tribes and to Abraham’s descendants your constant love, just like you swore to our ancestors in ancient times.
