Micah 7:14-20
New American Standard Bible
14 (A)Shepherd Your people with Your (B)scepter,
The flock of Your [a]possession
Which lives by itself in the woodland,
In the midst of [b]a fruitful field.
Let them feed in (C)Bashan and Gilead
(D)As in the days of old.
15 “As in the days when you went out from the land of Egypt,
I will show [c](E)you miracles.”
16 Nations (F)will see and be ashamed
Of all their might.
They will (G)put their hand on their mouth,
Their ears will be deaf.
17 They will (H)lick up dust like a snake,
Like [d](I)reptiles of the earth.
They will come (J)trembling out of their [e]fortresses;
To the Lord our God they will come in (K)trepidation,
And they will be afraid of You.
18 Who is a God like You, who (L)pardons wrongdoing
And passes over a rebellious act of the (M)remnant of His [f]possession?
He does not (N)retain His anger forever,
Because He (O)delights in mercy.
19 He will again take pity on us;
(P)He will trample on our wrongdoings.
Yes, You will (Q)cast all [g]their sins
Into the depths of the sea.
20 You will give [h](R)truth to Jacob
And favor to Abraham,
Which You (S)swore to our forefathers
From the days of old.

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.
17 They will lick dust(J) like a snake,
like creatures that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling(K) out of their dens;
they will turn in fear(L) to the Lord our God
and will be afraid of you.
18 Who is a God(M) like you,
who pardons sin(N) and forgives(O) the transgression
of the remnant(P) of his inheritance?(Q)
You do not stay angry(R) forever
but delight to show mercy.(S)
19 You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities(T) into the depths of the sea.(U)
20 You will be faithful to Jacob,
and show love to Abraham,(V)
as you pledged on oath to our ancestors(W)
in days long ago.(X)
