Isaiah 63:15-Isaiah 64:12 - Prayer For Mercy

¹⁵ Look from the heavens, and see from thy holy dwelling and thy glory: where thy zeal and thy strength? the multitude of thy bowels and thy compassions to me restrained themselves. ¹⁶ For thou our Father, for Abraham knew us not, and Israel will not recognize us: thou Jehovah our Father redeeming us; thy name from eternity. ¹⁷ Wherefore, O Jehovah, wilt thou cause us to wander from thy ways, wilt thou harden our heart from thy fear? turn back for sake of thy servants, the tribes of thine inheritance. ¹⁸ For a little While the people of thy holy place possessed it: our adversaries trod down thy holy place. ¹⁹ We were from of old: thou didst not rule with them; thy name was not called upon them.

¹ Would that thou didst rend the heavens; thou camest down; the mountains flowed from before thee. ² As the fire of meltings was kindled the fire will cause the water to boil, to cause thy name to be known to thine adversaries; from thy face shall the nations be moved. ³ In thy doing wonderful things we shall not expect, thou camest down, the mountains flowed from before thee. ⁴ From forever they heard not, they gave not ear, the eye saw not, O God, besides thee, he will do to him waiting for him. ⁵ Thou mettest him rejoicing and doing justice, they shall remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou wert angry; and we shall sin in them of old, and we shall be saved. ⁶ And we were all as the unclean, and all our justice as the garment of monthly courses; and we shall all fail away as the leaf; and our iniquities as the wind will take us away. ⁷ And none calling upon thy name, none rousing himself to take hold upon thee: for thou hiddest thy face from us, and thou wilt melt us by the hand of our iniquities.

⁸ And now, O Jehovah, thou our Father; we the clay and thou forming us; and we all the work of thy hand. ⁹ Thou wilt not be angry, O Jehovah, even greatly, and not forever wilt thou remember iniquity: behold, look now, Ye are all thy people. ¹⁰ The cities of thy holy place were desert; Zion was a desert., Jerusalem a desolation. ¹¹ The house of our holy place and our glory where our fathers praised thee, was for a burning of fire, and all our precious things were for desolation. ¹² For these wilt thou refrain thyself, O Jehovah? wilt thou be silent, and wilt thou humble us even greatly?
