Isaiah 63:18

Prayer For Mercy

¹⁷ Why causest Thou us to wander, O Jehovah, from Thy ways? Thou hardenest our heart from Thy fear, Turn back for Thy servants' sake, The tribes of Thine inheritance. ¹⁸ For a little while did Thy holy people possess, Our adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary. ¹⁹ We have been from of old, Thou hast not ruled over them, Not called is Thy name upon them!
