Isaiah 63:16
Compare all
14 As a beast goes down into the valley,
And the Spirit of the Lord causes him to rest,
So You lead Your people,
aTo make Yourself a glorious name. 

A Prayer of Penitence

15 aLook down from heaven,
And see bfrom Your habitation, holy and glorious.
Where are Your zeal and Your strength,
The yearning cof Your heart and Your mercies toward me?
Are they restrained? 
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. 
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. 
18 aYour holy people have possessed it but a little while;
bOur adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
