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.
18 (H)Your holy people held possession for a little while;[b]
(I)our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
19 (J)We have become like those over whom you have never ruled,
like those who are not called by your name.
64 (K)Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,
(L)that the mountains might quake at your presence—
2 [c] as when fire kindles brushwood
and the fire causes water to boil—
(M)to make your name known to your adversaries,
and that the nations might tremble at your presence!
3 (N)When you did awesome things that we did not look for,
you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 (O)From of old no one has heard
or perceived by the ear,
(P)no eye has seen a God besides you,
who acts for those who wait for him.

The Lord's Judgment of David's Sin
10 But (A)David's heart struck him after he had numbered the people. And David said to the Lord, (B)“I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O Lord, please take away the iniquity of your servant, for I have done (C)very foolishly.” 11 And when David arose in the morning, the word of the Lord came to (D)the prophet Gad, David's (E)seer, saying, 12 “Go and say to David, ‘Thus says the Lord, Three things I offer[a] you. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.’” 13 So Gad came to David and told him, and said to him, “Shall (F)three[b] years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in your land? Now consider, and decide what answer I shall return to him who sent me.” 14 Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let us fall into the hand of the Lord, (G)for his mercy is great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.”
15 (H)So the Lord sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning until the appointed time. And there died of the people from (I)Dan to Beersheba 70,000 men. 16 And when (J)the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem (K)to destroy it, (L)the Lord relented from the calamity and said to the angel (M)who was working destruction among the people, “It is enough; now stay your hand.” And (N)the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of (O)Araunah the Jebusite. 17 Then David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me and against my father's house.”

The Lord's Answer
5 (A)“Look among the nations, and see;
wonder and be astounded.
(B)For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told.
6 For behold, (C)I am raising up the Chaldeans,
that bitter and hasty nation,
(D)who march through the breadth of the earth,
(E)to seize dwellings not their own.
7 They are dreaded and fearsome;
(F)their justice and dignity go forth from themselves.
8 (G)Their horses are swifter than leopards,
more fierce than (H)the evening wolves;
their horsemen press proudly on.
Their horsemen come from afar;
(I)they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
9 They all come (J)for violence,
all their faces forward.
They gather captives (K)like sand.
10 At kings they scoff,
and at rulers they laugh.
(L)They laugh at every fortress,
for (M)they pile up earth and take it.
