14 Like cattle going down to the valley,
The Spirit of the Lord led them.
This is how you led your people
and made your name wonderful.
A Prayer for God to Help His People
15 Please, look down from the heavens.
See what is happening now.
Look down at us from your great and holy home in heaven.
Where is your strong love[a] for us?
Where is your compassion?
Why are you hiding your kind love from me?
16 Look, you are our father!
Abraham does not know us.
Israel does not recognize us.
Lord, you are our father!
You are the one who has always saved us!

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.
