Psalm 10:1-5
English Standard Version
Why Do You Hide Yourself?
2 In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor;
let them (D)be caught in the schemes that they have devised.
3 For the wicked (E)boasts of the desires of his soul,
and the one greedy for gain (F)curses[a] and (G)renounces the Lord.
4 In the pride of his face[b] the wicked does not (H)seek him;[c]
all his thoughts are, (I)“There is no God.”
5 His ways prosper at all times;
your judgments are on high, (J)out of his sight;
as for all his foes, he (K)puffs at them.

Isaiah 63:7-19
English Standard Version
The Lord's Mercy Remembered
7 I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord,
the praises of the Lord,
according to all that the Lord has granted us,
(A)and the great goodness to the house of Israel
that he has granted them according to his compassion,
according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
8 For he said, “Surely they are my people,
children who will not deal falsely.”
And he became their Savior.
9 (B)In all their affliction he was afflicted,[a]
and the angel of his presence saved them;
(C)in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;
(D)he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
10 (E)But they rebelled
(F)and grieved his Holy Spirit;
therefore he turned to be their enemy,
and himself fought against them.
11 Then he remembered (G)the days of old,
of Moses and his people.[b]
(H)Where is he who brought them up out of the sea
with the shepherds of his flock?
Where is he who put in the midst of them
his Holy Spirit,
12 who caused his glorious arm
to go at the right hand of Moses,
(I)who divided the waters before them
(J)to make for himself an everlasting name,
13 who led them through the depths?
Like a horse in the desert,
they did not stumble.
14 Like livestock that go down into the valley,
(K)the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest.
So you led your people,
(L)to make for yourself a glorious name.
Prayer for Mercy
15 (M)Look down from heaven and see,
(N)from your holy and beautiful[c] habitation.
Where are (O)your zeal and your might?
The stirring of your inner parts and your compassion
are held back from me.
16 For (P)you are our Father,
though Abraham does not know us,
and Israel does not acknowledge us;
you, O Lord, are our Father,
(Q)our Redeemer from of old is your name.
17 O Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways
and (R)harden our heart, so that we fear you not?
(S)Return for the sake of your servants,
the tribes of your heritage.
18 (T)Your holy people held possession for a little while;[d]
(U)our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
19 (V)We have become like those over whom you have never ruled,
like those who are not called by your name.

21 And he said to the people of Israel, (A)“When your children ask their fathers in times to come, ‘What do these stones mean?’ 22 then you shall let your children know, (B)‘Israel passed over this Jordan on dry ground.’ 23 For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, (C)which he dried up for us until we passed over, 24 (D)so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is (E)mighty, that you may (F)fear the Lord your God forever.”[a]
