Isaiah 63:11–19

¹¹Then ^aHis people remembered the ancient days, of Moses.

Where is ^bHe who brought them up out of the sea with the ¹shepherds of His flock?

Where is He who ^cput His Holy Spirit in the midst of ²them,

¹²Who caused His ^aglorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses,

Who ^bsplit the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,

¹³Who led them through the depths?

Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not ^astumble;

¹⁴As the cattle which go down into the valley,

The Spirit of ^aYahweh gave ¹them rest.

So You ^bled Your people,

To make for Yourself a glorious name.

Prayer for Mercy and Help

^15aLook down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious ^bhabitation;

Where are Your ^czeal and Your mighty deeds?

The ^dtumults within You and Your compassion are restrained toward me.

¹⁶For You are our ^aFather, though ^bAbraham does not know us

And Israel does not recognize us.

You, O Yahweh, are our Father,

Our ^cRedeemer from everlasting is Your name.

¹⁷Why, O Yahweh, do You ^acause us to stray from Your ways

And ^bstiffen our heart from fearing You?

^cReturn for the sake of Your slaves, the tribes of Your inheritance.

¹⁸Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while;

Our adversaries have ^atrodden it down.

¹⁹We have become like those over whom You have never ruled,

Like those who were not called by Your name.
