I cared for you in the wilderness, in the land of burning heat.

I took care of you in the desert. It was a land of burning heat.

It was I who knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought;

He found him in a desolate land, in a barren, howling wilderness; he surrounded him, cared for him, and protected him as the pupil of his eye.

He led you through the great and terrible wilderness with its poisonous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty land where there was no water. He brought water out of the flint rock for you.

For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this immense wilderness. The LORD your God has been with you these past forty years, and you have lacked nothing.’

But if anyone loves God, he is known by him.

I will rejoice and be glad in your faithful love because you have seen my affliction. You know the troubles of my soul

Although my spirit is weak within me, you know my way. Along this path I travel they have hidden a trap for me.

For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.

“ Go and announce directly to Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says: I remember the loyalty of your youth, your love as a bride— how you followed me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.

God saw the Israelites, and God knew.

They stopped asking,“ Where is the LORD who brought us from the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and ravines, through a land of drought and darkness, a land no one traveled through and where no one lived?”

The LORD is good, a stronghold in a day of distress; he cares for those who take refuge in him.
