Isaiah 63:15-19
New International Version
Isaiah 63:15-19
New International Version
15 Look down from heaven(A) and see,
from your lofty throne,(B) holy and glorious.
Where are your zeal(C) and your might?
Your tenderness and compassion(D) are withheld(E) from us.
16 But you are our Father,(F)
though Abraham does not know us
or Israel acknowledge(G) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
our Redeemer(H) from of old is your name.
17 Why, Lord, do you make us wander(I) from your ways
and harden our hearts(J) so we do not revere(K) you?
Return(L) for the sake of your servants,
the tribes that are your inheritance.(M)
18 For a little while(N) your people possessed your holy place,
but now our enemies have trampled(O) down your sanctuary.(P)
19 We are yours from of old;
but you have not ruled over them,
they have not been called[a] by your name.(Q)

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.

Isaiah 63:15-19
King James Version
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?
16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.
17 O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
