Isaiah 63:15-64:4

15Look down from heaven and see, from your lofty throne, holy and glorious. Where are your zeal and your might? Your tenderness and compassion are withheld from us.

16But you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us or Israel acknowledge us; you, LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name.

17Why, LORD, do you make us wander from your ways and harden our hearts so we do not revere you? Return for the sake of your servants, the tribes that are your inheritance.

18For a little while your people possessed your holy place, but now our enemies have trampled down your sanctuary. 19We are yours from of old; but you have not ruled over them, they have not been called Or We are like those you have never ruled, / like those never called by your name.

1In Hebrew texts 64:1 is numbered 63:19b, and 64:2-12 is numbered 64:1-11. Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!

2As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you!

3For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.

4Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.
