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
Revised Standard Version
A Prayer of Penitence
15 Look down from heaven and see,
from thy holy and glorious habitation.
Where are thy zeal and thy might?
The yearning of thy heart and thy compassion
are withheld from me.
16 For thou art our Father,
though Abraham does not know us
and Israel does not acknowledge us;
thou, O Lord, art our Father,
our Redeemer from of old is thy name.
17 O Lord, why dost thou make us err from thy ways
and harden our heart, so that we fear thee not?
Return for the sake of thy servants,
the tribes of thy heritage.
18 Thy holy people possessed thy sanctuary a little while;
our adversaries have trodden it down.
19 We have become like those over whom thou hast never ruled,
like those who are not called by thy name.
