Isaiah 63:14-16
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 63:14-16
Contemporary English Version
14 His Spirit gave them rest,
just as cattle find rest
when led into a valley.[a]
The name of the Lord was praised
for doing these things.
A Prayer for Mercy and Help
15 Please, Lord, look down
from your holy and glorious
home in the heavens
and see what's going on.
Have you lost interest?
Where is your power?
Show that you care about us[b]
and have mercy!
16 (A) Our ancestors Abraham and Jacob
have both rejected us.
But you are still our Father;
you have been our protector
since ancient times.
Isaiah 63:14-16
New International Version
Isaiah 63:14-16
New International Version
14 like cattle that go down to the plain,
they were given rest(A) by the Spirit of the Lord.
This is how you guided your people
to make for yourself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven(B) and see,
from your lofty throne,(C) holy and glorious.
Where are your zeal(D) and your might?
Your tenderness and compassion(E) are withheld(F) from us.
16 But you are our Father,(G)
though Abraham does not know us
or Israel acknowledge(H) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
our Redeemer(I) from of old is your name.
Isaiah 63:14-16
King James Version
Isaiah 63:14-16
King James Version
14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?
16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.
