Prayer for Mercy

15 (A)Look down from heaven and see,
    (B)from your holy and beautiful[a] habitation.
Where are (C)your zeal and your might?
    The stirring of your inner parts and your compassion
    are held back from me.
16 For (D)you are our Father,
    though Abraham does not know us,
    and Israel does not acknowledge us;
you, O Lord, are our Father,
    (E)our Redeemer from of old is your name.
17 O Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways
    and (F)harden our heart, so that we fear you not?
(G)Return for the sake of your servants,
    the tribes of your heritage.
