Israel’s Prayer

15 Look down from heaven and see(A)
from Your lofty home—holy and beautiful.
Where is Your zeal and Your might?
Your yearning[a] and Your compassion
are withheld from me.
16 Yet You are our Father,
even though Abraham does not know us
and Israel doesn’t recognize us.
You, Yahweh, are our Father;
from ancient times,
Your name is our Redeemer.(B)
17 Why, Yahweh, do You make us stray from Your ways?
You harden our hearts so we do not fear[b] You.(C)
Return, because of Your servants,
the tribes of Your heritage.
