Isaiah 63:10–17

10 But they krebelled and lgrieved His Holy Spirit;

mSo He turned Himself against them as an enemy,

And He fought against them.

11 Then he nremembered the days of old,

Moses and his people, saying:

“Where is He who obrought them up out of the sea

With the 3shepherd of His flock?

pWhere is He who put His Holy Spirit within them,

12 Who led them by the right hand of Moses,

qWith His glorious arm,

rDividing the water before them

To make for Himself an everlasting name,

13 sWho led them through the deep,

As a horse in the wilderness,

That they might not stumble?”

14 As a beast goes down into the valley,

And the Spirit of the Lord causes him to rest,

So You lead Your people,

tTo make Yourself a glorious name.

A Prayer of Penitence

15 uLook down from heaven,

And see vfrom Your habitation, holy and glorious.

Where are Your zeal and Your strength,

The yearning wof Your heart and Your mercies toward me?

Are they restrained?

16 xDoubtless You are our Father,

Though Abraham ywas 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 zmade us stray from Your ways,

And hardened our heart from Your fear?

Return for Your servants’ sake,

The tribes of Your inheritance.
