Isaiah 63:18
People - The people set apart for his servants. A little while - Comparatively to the promise, which was for ever. Sanctuary - The temple.
16 aDoubtless You are our Father,
Though Abraham bwas ignorant of us,
And Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, O Lord, are our Father;
Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
Though Abraham bwas ignorant of us,
And Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, O Lord, are our Father;
Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
17 O Lord, why have You amade us stray from Your ways,
And hardened our heart from Your fear?
Return for Your servants’ sake,
The tribes of Your inheritance.
And hardened our heart from Your fear?
Return for Your servants’ sake,
The tribes of Your inheritance.
18 aYour holy people have possessed it but a little while;
bOur adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
bOur adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
19 We have become like those of old, over whom You never ruled,
Those who were never called by Your name.
Those who were never called by Your name.
