Isaiah 63:17–64:1

¹⁷Why, Lord, do you make us wander^t from your ways

and harden our hearts^u so we do not revere^v you?

Return^w for the sake of your servants,

the tribes that are your inheritance.^x

¹⁸For a little while^y your people possessed your holy place,

but now our enemies have trampled^z down your sanctuary.^a

¹⁹We are yours from of old;

but you have not ruled over them,

they have not been called^c by your name.^b

64^aOh, that you would rend the heavens^c and come down,^d

that the mountains^e would tremble before you!
