from your lofty throne, holy and glorious.

though Abraham does not know us
or Israel acknowledge us;
you, Lord, are our Father,

and harden our hearts so we do not revere you?

17 O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, And hardened our heart from thy fear?

Even if Abraham and Jacob would disown us,
Lord, you would still be our Father.
You are our Redeemer from ages past.
17 Lord, why have you allowed us to turn from your path?
Why have you given us stubborn hearts so we no longer fear you?
Return and help us, for we are your servants,
the tribes that are your special possession.
