Isaiah 63:15-19
Legacy Standard Bible
Prayer for Mercy and Help
15 (A)Look down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious (B)habitation;
Where are Your (C)zeal and Your mighty deeds?
The (D)tumults within You and Your compassion are restrained toward me.
16 For You are our (E)Father, though (F)Abraham does not know us
And Israel does not recognize us.
You, O Yahweh, are our Father,
Our (G)Redeemer from everlasting is Your name.
17 Why, O Yahweh, do You (H)cause us to stray from Your ways
And (I)stiffen our heart from fearing You?
(J)Return for the sake of Your slaves, the tribes of Your inheritance.
18 Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while;
Our adversaries have (K)trodden it down.
19 We have become like those over whom You have never ruled,
Like those who were not called by Your name.
Isaiah 63:15-19
Christian Standard Bible
Israel’s Prayer
15 Look down from heaven and see(A)
from your lofty home—holy and beautiful.
Where is your zeal and your might?
Your yearning[a] and your compassion
are withheld from me.
16 Yet you are our Father,
even though Abraham does not know us
and Israel doesn’t recognize us.
You, Lord, are our Father;
your name is Our Redeemer(B)
from Ancient Times.
17 Why, Lord, do you make us stray from your ways?
You harden our hearts so we do not fear[b] you.(C)
Return, because of your servants,
the tribes of your heritage.
18 Your holy people had a possession[c]
for a little while,
but our enemies have trampled down
your sanctuary.(D)
19 We have become like those you never ruled,
like those who did not bear your name.(E)
