Isaiah 63:14–19

14  As a beast goeth down into the valley,

The Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest:

So didst thou lead thy people,

hTo make thyself a glorious name.

15  lLook down from heaven, and behold

mFrom the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory:

Where is thy zeal and thy strength,

||nThe sounding of thy bowels and of othy mercies toward me? are they prestrained?

16  qDoubtless thou art our father,

Though rAbraham be ignorant of us,

And Israel acknowledge us not:

Thou, O Lord, art our father, ||our sredeemer;

Thy name is from everlasting.

17  O Lord, why hast thou tmade us to err from thy ways,

And uhardened our heart from thy fear?

vReturn for thy servants’ sake,

wThe tribes of thine inheritance.

18  xThe people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while:

yOur adversaries zhave trodden down thy sanctuary.

19  We are thine: thou never barest rule over them;

†They were not called by thy name.
